My wife and I had a great time on this tour. The guide was knowledgeable and totally into the history of Covington and the ghosts throughout. He did his homework by researching in the local library and interviewed the current residence of the haunted buildings. I would recommend this to anyone interested in local history and real ghosts.

Chris was such an engaging and knowledgeable guide on the history of Covington! We’re not from the area, so having a guide who could elaborate a bit more made the tour truly fascinating. The ghost stories he tells makes you want to learn more, and discover more of Covington’s history. We really enjoyed our evening with Chris, and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn history and the ghost stories of Covington. Be sure to bring good walking shoes!

Chris was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of great information! Sure there are some fun ghost stories on the tour but where I think you get your monies worth is in fascinating facts about Covington Kentucky. I won't give away anything but I learned a lot about a very cool town! I'd highly recommend this tour for anybody looking for something interesting to do while in Covington Kentucky.

My husband and I came to visit the area for two nights and we are so happy we found this amazing tour! Chris took his time with us. He shared so much history and the ghost stories to go along with it! He knows his stuff and is a fantastic tour guide! Covington is absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend this tour to any and all haunted history lovers!

This was a very fun and educational experience! We were in town for a wedding and it was a perfect activity for the afternoon after the ceremony. Chris was an incredible guide! He was interesting and very knowledgeable. Every stop along the tour was unique and had its own story. Many were very moving and others gave me shivers! The tour was a good length. It was a hot day, but we brought water and dressed appropriately, and had no problems. Chris saw to it that we stood in the shade while he narrated the story when possible. I encourage those reading this review to give it a shot. You will not regret it!

Great tour that was about half ghost tour and half historical tour. Love seeing the older houses in Covington and hearing the ghost stories tied to them.

Chris is a great guide and a very good story teller. The walk went past some beautiful homes and you learned about the people that had an impact on Covington. I highly recommend this tour even if you are not a big ghost fan you can still enjoy the tour and learn about the history of the area.

We went on this tour on a very cold and rainy evening, but even the weather couldn't stop us from enjoying ourselves! We got to see many historic buildings and hear not only their history but also any ghostly stories associated with them.
