Very informative and entertaining. Leslie was a great guide, very knowledgeable and fun to be with for the night. She made us feel very welcome.

Gives you a quick over view of some history for the city. But the stories were not very scary or interesting.
Jill_S, Jun 2025
It is the most AWFUL ghost tour we’ve been on. Not because of our guides. They were lovely and enthusiastic. But NO SPIRITS. NO GHOSTS. IT WAS TERRIBLE.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hi Jill, we are very sorry that the ghosts refused to show during your tour. They keep trying to unionize and we cannot keep them on payroll.

Johnny was an amazing tour guide ! He made the experience fun, told great stories, chose great bars to grab drinks and was very knowledgeable about Nashville’s history.

Naz was awesome. Great tour, great history, spooky stuff. I made friends with the whole group. Hard Rock however needs better training for their team in southern hospitality
Nancy_G, Jul 2024
She was late. She did send a message and said could go inside and grab a drink, but she never said she was going to meet us inside the bar so we stood outside by the sign waiting and waiting....
When we finally started she walked very fast. We kept on losing the autio, We were towards the middle to end of the line.... And there was only about eight of us!! Took forever to get to the first bar and it was a extremely hot evening. Definitely need to add more stops. When in the bars the stories were interesting because we could actually hear them and cool off. I have done tours like this before and this one was definitely the worst one.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Nancy, We are sorry that you did not enjoy your tour. When we texted you that your guide was running behind, we did recommend that you head on in to the bar so you would not have to wait in the heat. We do wish we could add more stops, but we cannot safely and responsibly recommend that many drinks in such a short time. We will certainly take a look at our audio equipment and check in with your guide about her timing.

We tried a last minute cancellation and they turned us down. Didn’t offer any partial refund . Weather forecast had forecasted storms. No storms came but we didn’t want to chance it.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hi Randy. Policy clearly states that cancellations are only eligible for a refund with more than 24 hours' notice. We also clearly state that tours run in all weather. We got lucky on your tour day and, as forecasted, the rain stopped three hours before your tour time and it was a beautiful evening. We are very sorry that you missed it.

Had a fantastic time with Johnny as our guide! Very knowledgeable and made the tour fun as well. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn a little bit about the history of Nashville as well as some of the things you don't read in the history books!
Young_P, Oct 2023
Was hoping for more out of this tour. The audio transmitters really take away the group tour aspect as it felt impersonal. I've done similar tours in the past where transmitters weren't used and was more social. The guide really didn't try to bring the group together to mingle. Felt as if were just 6 groups to be on the same tour. A lot of the time was used getting drinks at the bar, waiting for drinks and waiting for people to use the restroom.
Andrea_V, Oct 2023
Very informative! Loved the level of detail and the drink stops. Johnny was great, coozies were even better
tracy_w, Oct 2023
Great host that shared history and knowledge with us. He also was the King of Spooks. Thanks for a great evening.
Eric_E, Sep 2023
Had a great time seeing downtown Nashville on the tour. It was fun and informative! Definitely would recomend to anyone visiting that has an interest in paranormal activities or just macabre history.
Jeanette_T, Sep 2023
This tour was one of the most fun things I have done in Nashville! It was a unique look at the dark history of that area. Johnny was an incredible tour guide and very knowledgeable about the history of downtown.
susan_b, Sep 2023
Our tour guide, John, did a great job telling the stories. He kept it entertaining and the tour did not feel like 2 and a half hours. I would definitely do another tour
Sandra_B, Aug 2023
Without a doubt the WORST guide EVER! No detail, more about her likes than info. Told us to google it or use trip advisor. More F bombs than history. Lots of telling how she hated hard rock, Taco Bell. Heard lots of “Crazy s happening” but didn’t tell us what that was. She was Late and unprepared. Had to leave us hanging while she left. Do NOT waste your time or money!
Wendy_N, Jul 2023
The guide was not personable nor friendly, and lacked enthusiasm to be there doing the tour. Had photos on his phone he referred to after he talked about a spot and was persistent that they were real. Don’t think flickering lights in a car park is a ghost…someone just needed to change the bulbs. Never did stop at a bar, but we ditched early due to disappointment in tour so they may have stopped eventually.
Gary_S, Jul 2023
Johnny was a great story teller! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and the walking tour, altogether.
Richard_D, Jul 2023
Great stories and history. They share reasons why it could be haunted and the bloody past. The schedule after you leave the first bar is flexable depending on questions, walking speeds, and weather. It's not all about the boos. The good places to come back to later for food or music are explained as we walked. I would recommend this tour.
Hannah_F, Jun 2023
Our tour guide Johnny was very nice and friendly. He did an amazing job telling us stories and giving suggestions on what to do while in Nashville. We really enjoyed it and suggest it to anyone interested in history, ghost stories, or just a good time.
Stephanie_T, Jun 2023
Johnny was a great tour guide. Very humorous and knowledgeable. Would recommend. We met some nice people from Texas in our group tour and enjoyed some drinks together
Victoria_B, Apr 2023
Johnny was great. Enjoyed the history and ghost stories. The walking downtown was very nice. Thank you.
Daaron_Y, Apr 2023
Johnny was the man! Super enjoyable. Biggest moment was 2nd street where the bombing was. Very interesting and fun.
Kaitlyn, Jan 2023
Overall a great tour. Reese was lively and entertaining. We learned a lot about the ghosts of Nashville. While we didn't care that there were only 3 bar stops, it might matter to others who want more of a bar crawl.
Stephanie_L, Nov 2022
Reese was great! Good storyteller!
Informative with great spirit stories!
Will recommend to all my friends and family!
elizabeth_b, Oct 2022
The tour guide made it pretty good. I had low expectations but as a local. He showed me places I didn’t even know existed. Super patient, very friendly. Made it a great night.
Sheri_L, Oct 2022
Nashville's Boos & Booze Tour was so much fun and John was the best host!! Loved hearing the Nashville history!
STEPHANIE_P, Oct 2022
Johnny was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and a great singing voice! Would definitely recommend this tour to others.
Janetta_A, Sep 2022
All of it. Our guide was great, and very informative. A lot of what we seen an heard was new information, that I never knew. Would so do it again
Sally_M, Jun 2022
It was supposed to be boos and booze, unfortunately this was no pub crawl and the only place we stopped for a drink wouldn't let our group in because of size. Not worth the money
Kelly_S, Apr 2022
this was actually the biggest waste of money. we went to two bars, and did not have any paranormal experience or story, rather just historical hyperbole reenacted by an adult child
