This was a really fun tour! Jordan is a great storyteller and we enjoyed our experience very much... plus we got enough steps to offset the Booze part of the tour.

Not the best

Valerie_J, Oct 2024
Our guide was good but the one stop was not open and.it was just not good. We could have done it ourselves.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Valerie, we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your tour. We would appreciate a little more feedback so we can use it constructively. There is more than one stop on the tour so it would be helpful to know what you mean by "the one stop." Please reach out to us at info@nightlyspirits.com so that we can look further into the matter.

So much fun!!

Amanda_S, Oct 2024
Tyler was the best! He had so many personal stories about the places we went and, I will definitely do it again!

So fun to be at the Dunhill and the city! Had fun doing the ghost tour and getting to hear and see the stories! Our host was fantastic and knowledgeable! We had some experiences in the graveyard!

Booze and Boo’s is a Blast!

Tommy_F, Sep 2024
Lisa was an amazing guide! She was funny, knowledgeable and personable. She also taught me more about Charlotte’s history than I’ve learned anywhere else!

Good time 👍

Frank_F, Aug 2024
Was a good time. Got to hear about some of the history of Charlotte and the pubs were a lot of fun. We had some friends in from out of town and had a blast.

Awesome night with great ghost stories!

Vanessa_S, Jul 2024
This was super fun and really informative. Lisa was charismatic and I loved her stories and insight! Super bummed that dandelion market closed down, I think that would have been a better finish to the night. But what can you do. Loved the start point at Dunhill and the cemetery.

It was a dark and stormy night

Karen_B, Jul 2024
A fun Saturday night in Charlotte visiting pubs and learning about the city and the famous haunts. Lisa is an excellent guide providing knowledge and humor. She kept our 12 person tour entertained and informed. She knew where to take cover in the pouring rain and was a trooper to carry on when our gang was game to keep going. It will be a tour that won’t be forgotten. We met some great people that night. Cheers to booze and boos!

Great fun!

Teresa_R, Jul 2024
Lisa was a great story teller and made the experience wonderful! I will definitely book again when in the area.

Fun spirirts walk

Valerie_B, Jun 2024
Good story delivery, our guide has talked to a few people one on one with spirit interactions. We had some people who did quite a bit of drinking before the tour, she did a good job keeping an eye on them too

Great evening out for a different perspective of Charlotte history

Jason_H, May 2024
Lisa gave an amazing tour of Charlette with history and stories of the "ghosts" that come with the history of the city! Thank you and would recommend this tour!

Fun time!

Tiffany_M, May 2024
Lisa was amazing! She kept us engaged the whole time. Loved her story telling ways! We will definitely be telling friends and family who plan to visit Charlotte.

Great time!

Aubry_E, Apr 2024
Wonderful experience! I will definitely recommend to my friends and family, as well as look forward to more experiences in the future

Great way to explore downtown Charlotte

Shawn_M, Mar 2024
Very knowledgeable tour guide and very spooky feel to the whole night. Loved the boos and booze tour and will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Cool experience

Adrienne_U, Mar 2024
The Dunhill Hotel stories. The Cemetery. Walking through the city was cool at nighttime. Visiting the different locations was neat rather than just hearing about the places.

Three cheers for Booze and Boos

Vogus_D, Feb 2024
Our Booze and Boos ghost tour began on a cold, moonlit Saturday night three days after Valentines. We gathered at the Dunhill Hotel and had some drinks – dare I say spirits – before the rest of the tour group arrived. Deidra, or was it Dead-ra?, introduced herself as our tour guide and quickly passed out glow sticks so we wouldn’t get lost as we toured the Uptown sights and gave us an EMF Detector to help determine if spirits were nearby. The lights quickly went from green to red indicating spirits were close by. Deidra began the tour with great information about the history and ghosts within the Dunhill, and we soon departed for our next stop. As we left the property the couple that was in our group seemed distressed and distracted – was the tour going to be too long? Were they worried about the cold? We couldn’t tell, but we were soon at our first stop learning the history of the location and the ghosts that were known to inhabit it. As we were directed to move to our next stop which would be further from the hotel, the young couple was no longer with us. Everyone looked up and down the street for the couple – looking for the glow sticks, a sign, or a face, but the couple seemed to have simply vanished from our presence. As we decided to continue the tour we noted that the EMF went from red (spirit activity) to green (normal) with the departure of the young couple. We continued the tour and had a wonderful time, learning the history of the locations, hearing stories of the mischievous ghosts, and seeing the signs that they’ve left behind for us. Overall, we had a fun time and gave three cheers for the Booze and Boos night.

Great tour

Christina_R, Feb 2024
