Getting the low down on Chattanooga bloody history

Abra_Z, Oct 2025
I took my daughter and her boyfriend on this tour and we had an AMAZING time. Brittany was our tour guide! She was fun, knowledgeable, good with her facts and held our attention. Definitely would recommend doing this tour. I leaned a lot about Chattanooga, more than I even expected. We are all very grateful for Brittany and would definitely do the tour again with her!

Great experience

Juliet_H, Oct 2024
Caleb was entertaining and handled the ongoing night life around us like a champ! He didn’t lose one guest with us to the Cherry Street bars either! The Read House information was by far my favorite!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Glad that you had a great time!

Chatanooga ghost tour

Brenda_R, Aug 2024
The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately it was hard to hear. Whisper ear mics would have been very helpful. I also would have liked to go into buildings like the read hotel but all in all it was an average tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Unfortunately, we are not able to go into every building due to the timing of our tours and the added time it would take. We hope you enjoyed your time in Chattanooga and had a chance to explore more of the area you learned about on tour!

Fun spooky ghost tour

Amber_M, Jul 2024
Caleb was an awesome tour guide! It was such a fun ghost tour filled with lots of stories and histories about the city!

An interesting history lesson!

Anne_R, Jul 2024
Kay Kay was super knowledgeable about the history of the city and did a great job. She did a wonderful job explaining a couple of mysteries.

Enchanted walk

Kerri_L, Jul 2024
Caleb was a great tour guide. He was very informative, answered all of our questions, and kept us engaged in the history of Chatanooga. Our favorite site was the Read Hotel, and we can't wait to go back there and look around.

Great tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thomas_L, Jul 2024
Our guide was awesome and she shared a wealth of knowledge on the history of Chattanooga. The ghost stories and tours were great too! She had connections and got us into the Read House.

Skip and do anything else

Kayley_K, Jun 2024
The tour could have been wonderful like the other tours I have booked that were similar to this one. But this one fell way short! Tour guide, Caleb, told more personal stories than stories that everyone was looking forward to learn about history and curses. Walked around to look at nothing. Really disappointing and would not recommend.

Locals

Sarah_H, Apr 2024
My husband, son, and I had a blast learning about the history of Chattanooga. We're locals and found there was still so much to discover about our own city.

Great!

Yadira_J, Apr 2024
Loved all the stories! Caleb was an awesome guide. He did such a good job telling the stories and adding some personal experiences gave it a personal touch. Definitely would do again!

Chattanooga is not safe at night.

Melissa_M, Apr 2024
Downtown chattanooga is not a safe place to walk around in the dark at night. It was just 3 girls on the tour including the guide. I was worried we were going to get robbed the whole time, couldn’t even pay attention to what she was saying. Some of the stories were cool and some were just long and drawn out. Idk why she was even talking about green eyes on the tour, the green eye ghost is over in GA, so why mention it on a chattanooga tour. Was to expensive and definitely not safe.

Good for history but not shouldn’t have an age requirement

Ashley_P, Apr 2024
Thought since it was an “adult only” tour there would be something really shocking or spooky, but there wasn’t. The guide did a great job telling the history of Chattanooga. Would’ve enjoyed going to locations where different apparitions had been documented (shown pics/videos to back it). Felt very cheesy

The Tour guide was Great!...

Melissa_D, Mar 2024
The Tour guide was Great! His personality and story telling ability was excellent. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the event and will definitely do it again!!

We waited for our guide...

Carol_B, Nov 2023
We waited for our guide at the designated meeting place. No one showed up so we called the 800 number. We were told our guide called out 10 minutes ago.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry this situation occurred and it has been seriously addressed.

Lots of Fun

Alita_L, Oct 2023
Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area. Very friendly and made sure we all stayed together and answered any questions we had.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks for your review! We are so glad to hear you had a great time on the tour. It was our pleasure to have you as our guest.

Dissatisfied

Wendy_H, Sep 2023
Wanted a haunted tour , but was just history . Thought we would go in haunted buildings , was not expecting this tour .

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks for your feedback. We are an outdoor walking tour. We do not enter locations due to private properties, city regulations, operating hours and additional fees. All of our tales are researched and historically accurate as history and hauntings go hand in hand.

Can’t in good conscience recommend to others

Amber_H, Sep 2023
The tour guide was a nice man. The tour was so incredibly boring. We walked around 2 blocks with him reciting memorized scripts and forced laughs. It was awkward at best. I don’t want to mess with the man’s livelihood, but he should not be doing this job.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We apologize for the negative experience you had, We do hope that you come back for a different tour with GCT to see if we can change your mind, Here at GCT we strive to give the best experiences we can to our guests!

Fun time!

Breeanne_B, Aug 2023

Creatively Cursed inChattown!

Christopher_H, Oct 2022
We had a blast meeting Kaye Kaye! And enjoyed the great stories, especially the ad libs about the urban noise. Her positivity was infect!😀😀😀!!!

Good, if you love history lessons

David_O, Sep 2022
Was a nice history lesson. It wasn't completely focused on the hauntinhs but more so on the city of Chattanooga it's self.

Response from Host, Sep 2022
