Excellent Excellent tour. The tour was not rushed. A lot of information was given. Jason was not just going through the motions of the tour but giving it as it was he's first tour. Will be going back.

Fantastic storyteller who weaved the history of the city and paranormal activities into a haunting evening!

Didn’t catch a ghost, but had fun!

meg_c, Feb 2026
Great tour! Didn’t catch any ghosts but learned a lot about Chattanooga and its history. Very interesting and well done!

Fun night out

Richard_W, Feb 2026
If you are in Chattanooga this is a fun activity to do with a group. Jason our guide is a great story teller! History and ghost stories are two some things my girlfriend loves so this was perfect. We plan to go back with friends!

Good time!

Christopher_M, Jan 2026
Was fun to get some history about downtown, but some of the ghost stuff was a little cheesy. Still fun though, worth it for the price.

Historically spooky and fun!

Jason was wonderful and so much fun! If you love spooky history, I would highly recommend this tour!

Teri_S, Nov 2025
It was more like a historical tour than ‘ghost’ tour but interesting nonetheless the less. The stories were very interesting.

We had a very fun time...

Vincent_N, Oct 2025
We had a very fun time and our tour guide was great. We got to See a lot of cool buildings, and the history of the town. Overall it was fun and I would recommend going on this tour.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Vincent, thank you so much for your review. I'm so happy you had a great time with Jason!

Pass

alicia3003, Oct 2025
Not worth the money. Guide was just ok / pretty cheesy and only stop at a few spots. I’d pass on this

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Alicia, I am really puzzled by your review. You toured with Jason, and as can be seen from the many reviews about his tours across all review sites, everyone always loves him, including other guests who were on the same tour as you. Also, I am not sure what you are categorizing as "a few spots," but I believe he usually includes at least 5 or 6 stops, which is all we can cover in the hour and a half (or his tours are usually I think an hour and 40 minutes, because he goes over and above for his guests) and still give the most enjoyable details, rather than just skim a story while practically just passing by, as some tours do. I also did a search through the reviews and no one has EVER called his tour cheesy before. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the tour.

Awesome

justice4444, Oct 2025
Loved the tour our guide Jessica was so informative...myself and my wife love history...this tour was not only spooky but historically interesting

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi "justice," I'm so glad you had a great time with Jessica. We love history as well as ghosts and try to tell about both so we can entertain people interested in either, and really enjoy it when we have guests who love both. Thank you for your review.

Enjoyable haunted history tour of old Chattanooga

Kerry_L, Oct 2025
Filled with interesting facts about Chattanooga's development with an amusingly lurid cast. Best enjoyed with fresh legs!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Kerry, I'm so glad you had a good time on Jessica's tour, and lol enjoyed the lurid details. (We sometimes tone them down when there are lots of kids in a group, but I don't think that was the case that night.) Thank you so much for joining us and for your review.

It was a lot of fun and...

Amanda_M, Sep 2025
It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about the history of Chattanooga. Our guide was great, and super sweet!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Amanda, I'm so glad y'all had a great time on Jason's tour! You all also lucked into one of the only October weekend tours we had that wasn't jam-packed. ;) Thank you so much for joining us.

Introducing the city.

Esther_J, Aug 2025
Lots of walk but even easy paths, interesting information about the city. Knowledge and friendly tour guide.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Belinda, thank you so much for joining us for the tour! I'm so happy you had a great time with Jessica. You're right, she IS a lot of fun. Thank you for the review!

Fantastic! Fantastic!

Jill_S, Jul 2025
This is the best ghost tour we have been on! Jessica was absolutely fantastic. She was funny and knowledgeable about the city and history of it. The only downside was the size of the group, if you were too far back you couldn’t hear her.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Jill, thank you so much for your wonderful review. I will share with Jessica, and also mention to her she might want to turn her speaker up with a large group. Usually we limit our groups to 25, but we had to overbook this one because some folks had some late additions to their parties. Thank you again so much for joining us and for your kind words. -Amy

Best Walk Ever.

Reba_M, Jun 2025
Absolutely take this tour. We take a tour in every city we visit and this one was the absolute best.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much, Reba!! This means even more to me than our usual reviews, because you have clearly experienced so many. I really appreciate you joining us AND your kind words. We look forward to seeing you in the future! And I'll make sure to share your review with Jason.

Ghosts, Orbs & Prisons -- Oh My!

SHELLEY_M, May 2025
What a great time we had learning about the history & spirits of Chattanooga! The owner, Amy, did a great job communicating with us about the status of our tour, due to forecasted inclement weather. Despite the spooky weather, our guide, Jessica, maintained her ghostly composure and shared interesting stories & photos that captured our attention & stoked our curiosity. We learned alot of history about the buildings & the population. Come with a curious mind and an active imagination! Definitely wear comfy walking shoes & bring an umbrella in case of inclement weather.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hey Shelley, I'm so glad you had a great time despite it being a "dark and stormy night"! They DO say that's how all the best ghost stories start. Thank you so much for your sweet and detailed review!

Awesome Tour

Xavier_K, Apr 2025
Jess was very informative and engaged us with the stories of the buildings and the people. Amy was sweet and amazing

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Xavier. Thank you so much for joining us! I'm so happy you had a great time. -Amy

Amazing tour company

Gabriellerox, Apr 2025
Everyone else has posted about how great this tour is. I want to talk about how great the tour company is. We arrived in Charlotte and I had a migraine. I texted the tour company with just a few hours to spare and explained the situation. They contacted me almost immediately and offered me a refund or the opportunity to change dates. I gladly change dates for the next day. They were so kind and quick to make the change, both texting and emailing me all the information I needed and making sure that I knew the new times and meeting spot even though the tour agreement did not require them to do any of this. They are a super company and really nice people.

Response from Host, May 2025

Aww, thank you Gabrielle, I really appreciate your kind comments. I try to treat our guests the way I would like to be treated, so we allow guests to cancel or reschedule with just 2 hours phone notice. I am so happy we were able to help. -Amy

Jason was an awesome tour...

Noah_K, Apr 2025
Jason was an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable about everything he shows and tells about. 10/10 recommend doing this!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hi Noah, I'm so glad you had a great time on Jason's tour! Thank you so much for the recommendation.

The tour guide would stop...

Michelle_C, Apr 2025
The tour guide would stop mid-story and not complete his thought, he seemed high. We could have done a better job looking the information up online and reading it ourselves.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hi Michelle. I have looked back through all my bookings AND waivers for a month, and do not have a traveller with the first name Michelle, and no one with a last name starting with C where a first name remotely resembled Michelle. You do not name your guide and your description does not at all sound like our only male guide, so I am thinking perhaps you were not actually on our tour. Please contact me so that I can determine whether you were in fact on our tour. If you were and there was a genuine issue on it, I will make it right, though I think perhaps you were on a national chain's tour.

Jess was a great tour...

Kathryn_W, Apr 2025
Jess was a great tour guide! She was informative about the history of the city (both good and bad), various murders, and ghostly sightings.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hey Kathryn, thank you so much for your review! I appreciate you us for the tour.

Great time

Shawna_M, Mar 2025
Very interesting and fun, your guide was great. Wear comfy shoes, lots of walking but it’s not a difficult walk. Very cool stories

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hey Shawn, thanks so much for joining us. I'm so happy you had a great time!

Creepy fun for everyone!

DeAnn_S, Mar 2025
You get to explore a fun neighborhood and fancy hotel while learning about the spooky history of the area.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks so much for joining us! I'm so happy you had a fun time and enjoyed The Read House.

Worth it

Heather_F, Mar 2025
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable we learned about all the history here the sites she took us on and the stories she told us about the past was amazing

Response from Host, Apr 2025
