We had a great time exploring the Queen City on this ghost tour! The guide shared fascinating stories as we walked through Charlotte, ending at a historic cemetery. It was entertaining, spooky in a fun way, and perfect for kids..no nightmares, just good memories!

Elizabeth is a GREAT GUIDE!

Absolutely wonderful! Elizabeth was incredibly theatrical and great at building suspense with her storyline. There was so much everyone in my family learned, from haint blue to Lincoln being assassinated to America’s first gold rush. I would highly recommend this tour, not only for the spooky stories but also for a chance to learn a lot about Charlotte itself!

We had a great time exploring the Queen City on this ghost tour! The guide shared fascinating stories as we walked through Charlotte, ending at a historic cemetery. It was entertaining, spooky in a fun way, and perfect for kids..no nightmares, just good memories!

Historical events that are generally unknown.. ex: a Goldrush in North Carolina!

Cheryl_H, Sep 2025
Elizabeth really knows the history and back story of the stops on the tour. Easy walking access to the locations we saw. My grandson and I both enjoy history and it always helps to understand ... "the rest of the story" and the reason that caused a particular event to happen.

Our tour guide was very dramatic but in the best way possible. I never got bored and it was all very interesting. I had a great time. The tour was honestly better than I thought it was going to be.

10/10 things to do that’s affordable

Elisa_T, Nov 2024
Elizabeth was great! Her history & story telling kept the trip alive & involved. Highly recommended! Only thing is, I wish they would allow you to add a tip on the end of your ticket purchase because not everyone carries cash anymore & tips aren’t given when they should be.

Elizabeth = best guide to have

The interpreter makes the experience!

Michele_P, Oct 2024
We had a great time on the ghost tour with a group of other people who we did not know, but we met along the way. Elizabeth was our guide and interpreter and she couldn’t have been more entertaining and knowledgeable. We were able to see a lot of the 18th century Area and cemetery. The interpreter makes the Experience and Elizabeth delivered in every way.

10/10 highly recommend

Lauren_S, Oct 2024
