Mel our guide was very friendly knowledgeable and could answer any questions . It was a fun ti.e learning some Nashville history.
Tour director wasn’t funny at all kept us standing out in the heat way too long. it wasn’t made clear what the process was of getting on and off the bus. The bus would stop and we’d get out on the sidewalk and hear him talk and get back on.
Fun time ghosting with very interrsting stories and great stops to see everything and guide was very knowledgeable and funny.
Alexis did a great job with the tour
There is some walking but not a lot so most age groups could participate
Guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the locations and history. Locations were interesting.
Information and hosting were great. Traffic in Nashville caused us to be unable to see pay off the your and that appeared to be the most interesting part
Super fun, our guide Matt was funny and a great story teller! Our 11 year old enjoyed it as well and would do it again!
Host and driver are great. However, this was something I would not recommend as a ghost tour. If you want a history tour, then it might be for you. You can’t go into cemetery but just stand out in street with lots of cars going by. No ghost hunting equipment. Very disappointing tour.
Very informative & you get to ride in a air conditioned van.
You will go to the capital building & have to climb stairs.
There is walking involved and climbing of steps. Very knowledgeable tour guides. Definitely recommend the detector
Had alot of fun - Matt was a great guide. He was funny and had really interesting stories . Definitely worth it
My 13 year old found this activity for us. It was the only thing that he and his sister agreed on. The tour did not disappoint. If you like the stories behind a headline, you’ll love it.
This tour was a lot of fun! Highly recommend, Matt and Jay were awesome guide and driver! We had a great time!
Pay the extra money and do the private golf tour….it is much more fun and detailed.
Our tour guide Matt was amazing and knowledgeable, he is really invested in making sure your tour is everything you expect and more!
We enjoyed the ghost tour! Lots of good information about true events in Tennessee. We were able to go into the cemetery. That was very interesting. Alexis was great and made things fun. We had a really good group too so that helped. We stopped at the Fort , printers alley and the capital. Even got to see a skunk at the capital… apparently this is a thing. lol overall, it was a great experience.
To expect to have a fun time. Enjoy the stories of Nashville's quirky history. The guide is down to earth.
Not what we expected. Definitely not the scare factor we thought. It’s a history lesson that’s long and drawn out. Definitely would not do again or recommend to friends or family.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We’re sorry our haunted history tour contained so much haunted history. We’re not sure what level of scare you expected. Were we supposed to drive the bus off a cliff and have a ghost catch it?
For insurance reasons, we stick to true stories, haunted landmarks, and Nashville history instead of turning the evening into Final Destination. We hope you find a tour your friends and family can survive recommending.
The tour guide was very nice but we felt that it was a bit unorganized and not much instruction as to where to go when we got there. Also although we could hear her when the bus was not moving or we were off the bus, once the bus was moving we couldn’t hear anything. There should have been some form of speaker system in the bus specially with how many speed bumps we hit and how loud the back was.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to write this, and I am really glad you liked your guide. Alexis is one of our very best!
You are right about the sound, and I want you to know our buses do have a speaker system. It sounds like ours had a technical issue that night, which is on us, and we have already had it looked at so the next group hears every word, even over all those speed bumps. I hate that it pulled you out of the stories, because those stories are the whole reason you came.
I also hear you on the organization and knowing where to go once you arrived. That is an easy one for us to tighten up, and your note helps us do exactly that.
If you are ever back in Nashville we would love to have you ride with us again and experience the tour the way it is meant to run. Thank you again for the honest feedback, it genuinely makes us better.
It’s more so just about history. You don’t see anything but some landmarks. The guide was great! But it’s definitely not worth the price. It’s all stuff that Google will tell you as well as the photos they show are from Google. The bus was hot. I just wouldn’t recommend. It’s also confusing when you got to even get on the bus you walk in and are not told what to do.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We’re glad you thought the guide was great! Yes, you can find Nashville history on Google. You can also see the Grand Canyon on Google, yet people keep buying plane tickets.
For the record, the ghost photos shown on our tour are not from Google. And yes, we visit landmarks. Relocating the Ryman, the State Capitol, and Nashville City Cemetery to make them more surprising was unfortunately outside our budget.
The hot bus and unclear check in are fair criticisms, and we will address both. As for not seeing a ghost, we apologize. They received the schedule but remain wildly unprofessional.
They should describe it as only being a ghost tour and not as a ghost and true crime tour. The whole tour was about ghosts and paranormal activity and not really much about true crime. Idk about the first bus that was decorated but we were on the second bus that was plain white. The very back seats almost broke as we sat down so we had to move to different seats. It smelled like smoke inside the bus. Random party music played while he told stories instead of spooky music or even no music would of been better. The description said you sip on a curated cocktail during the tour and we were not provided a cocktail at all. The stories were great but not very in depth. I knew more than the guide based on my minimal research of printers alley. The tour guide and driver did seem to really try hard to get everyone engaged. All of the stories that were told tended to focus on these ghostly photos he showed us on his phone. Like i said if the first bus had screens and spooky music it may of been better. I did learn some cool history about nashville which i enjoyed but this should be described as a ghost tour instead of ghost and true crime.
It was excellent! Great history and hair standing stories. Our team were Matt and Jay and they made the whole experience fun and entertaining!
Alexis was a great host with a lot of knowledge.
Was very interesting to see and hear about the local hauntings! Highly recommend! We came to Nashville for my daughter’s sweet 16 and this tour was a must on her list…. We were not disappointed!!
This was a a lot of fun. It was great to see some of the spooky history of Nashville. They showed pictures and videos of things they captured
Do not waste your money. This was the worst tour I've ever been on. I could of looked up my own info in Nashville and put together a much better tour in an hour of research
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thanks for the feedback! Honestly, respect to a guy who can out research a full tour in an hour. That is rare talent, and we'd never want to stand between you and a solid afternoon on Wikipedia. 🕵️ If you need a job so that you can earn your money back, we are always hiring especially those who dig up all the Dark Secrets Nashville has to offer in under an hour.
For everyone who'd rather have the stories, the stops, the drinks and the theatrics handled for them, we'll keep doing our thing. We're sorry it wasn't your speed, and we genuinely wish you a spookier time out there.
Great tour! Matt was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. Such a fun way to learn about the history and lore of Nashville. We loved the bus - getting off to hear stories and get a closer look - but, unlike a walking tour, we got to hear stories from many parts of the city and never had to struggle to hear while group was in motion. Highly recommend!
Faith was so great! Easy to talk to, very funny and informative. This was one of my favorite experiences of our trip.
This was more like a historical tour of haunted places in Nashville. I was thinking it would be a little interactive but it really was just listening to the history. The tour guide was very knowledgeable but I just found it to be boring.
This was a history lesson on Andrew Jackson nothing to do with ghosts. 2 people left during one of the stops. The man behind me on the bus fell asleep and was snoring. All the travelers were upset. You should not sell this tour to one other person ! There was nothing wrong with the guide. It was the content of what she spoke of. More of a history lesson. Shameful to call this a ghost tour and really misleads the public. False Advertising. Worst tour my guests and I had ever been on.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your review.
According to your version of events, there were no ghosts, no true crime, everyone on the bus was upset, people were walking out, someone was snoring, and the whole thing was false advertising.
That's quite a screenplay.
At some point this stopped being a review and became a work of historical fiction.
We're especially impressed that you managed to speak for every single guest on the bus. That's a remarkable talent. Next time, you should charge admission for that tour.
As for the ghosts, we apologize they didn't pause the tour to introduce themselves. They're notoriously bad with customer service.
The only thing more unbelievable than our ghost stories was this review.
If you ever find a ghost tour where the spirits appear on cue, shake everyone's hand, and pose for selfies, please let us know.
We'd buy a ticket too.
tour guide was very sweet and knowledgeable. Very cool information! would definitely go back again!!
Our tour guide was awesome and very informative about the history of the area. Our bus was NOT what the picture and advertisement depicted, which was a disappointment. The bus was EXTREMELY HOT, the driver never closed the door when we exited for our foot tours, so it NEVER cooled down, which made the trip miserable in the heat that day!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your honest review, and we're so glad to hear your guide made such a positive impression. We work hard to make sure every guide knows both the history and the stories that make Nashville unique.
We're sorry the bus temperature took away from your experience. On hot Tennessee days, keeping the cabin comfortable can definitely be a challenge, especially with frequent stops where guests are getting on and off. While the driver does need to keep the door open while guests are boarding and exiting for safety, we understand how quickly that can let the cool air escape, and we're continuing to look for ways to keep the bus more comfortable during the summer months.
As for the bus itself, we appreciate you mentioning that as well. Our fleet has grown over time, and while the specific vehicle may vary depending on the day's schedule, we understand how arriving to something different than you expected can be disappointing.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Your comments help us improve, and we hope you'll give us another opportunity to show you the experience we're known for.
