We enjoyed this tour very much. We took it at sunset and loved listening to the history behind the Lemp Family and the Brewery. The Doctor was very engaging and kept everything moving at a good pace and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Fun Ghost Tour at Sunset

We enjoyed this tour very much. We took it at sunset and loved listening to the history behind the Lemp Family and the Brewery. The Doctor was very engaging and kept everything moving at a good pace and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Interesting, informative....

Timothy_S, Jul 2026
Interesting, informative. The your guide was very knowledgeable and nice. The best part was going on the actual buildings.

Fantastic stories.

Deborah_H, Jun 2026

Great tour

Thomas_E, Jun 2026
There is a lot of focus on STL history which was very interesting to us. I recommend this tour and will be taking other tours by this company.

Annette_B, Jun 2026
Great time! I did this same tour over 10 years ago and they have changed it up a bit, both were interesting.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

10 years ago, we didn't go inside buildings. So, you didn't like the change of going into haunted buildings of the Lemp Brewery?

Creepy and fun!

Jarrell_R, Apr 2026
I only give it four stars because I did not see a ghost but the tour guide and the breakdown of everything is amazing 10 out of 10 will do it again!!!

It was such a cool...

Mary_S, Mar 2026
It was such a cool experience and our guide was really informative and funny. Definitely plan on checking out his other tours when I’m back in the area!

A must do thing to do in stl.

May be better tours to explore.

DebI_L, Nov 2025
Wasn't really a haunted tour, as I've been on many others. We expected more ghost stories. Was more of a historical walk with a few haunted stories. More history than haunted.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

What I don't understand about your review is this: How else am I supposed to justify the hauntings if I don't share the history that supports them? What you failed to mention in your review, and I suspect purposely to make your review more disparaging, is that I show you tons of some of the best ghost photos ever taken. I also bring you into two haunted basements of the Lemp Brewery, which, if I didn't tell you the horrific history, there would be nothing to support the haunting and evidence. So, if you're a future customer wanting to book my tour, please read the review immediately before this one and the review immediately after, written by tour guests who attended the very same tour night as Debbie Downer here. Sincerely, Dr. Mark Farley

Lemp Haunted Neighborhood Walking Tour

Sharon_R, Oct 2025
If you love history, hauntings, and a touch of the macabre, the Lemp Haunted Neighborhood Walking Tour is a must-do! This tour offers an incredible blend of storytelling and St. Louis history centered around the famous Lemp family, their mansion, and the old Lemp Brewery. Our guide, Mark, was an excellent storyteller — knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history and legends of the area. He brought the stories to life with just the right mix of facts, humor, and eerie atmosphere. Be prepared to explore some truly creepy basements and other offbeat spots that most people never get to see. The historical details are fascinating, and there are a few fun surprises along the way that make the tour even more memorable. A few tips: • Wear good walking shoes. You’ll be covering a fair bit of ground, including uneven terrain and steps. • Dress for the weather. The tour is entirely outdoors (with some brief ventures underground), so plan accordingly. Overall, this is a perfect night out for history buffs, ghost hunters, and anyone who enjoys a good spooky story told well. Highly recommend!

Awesome tour! Very...

Awesome tour! Very knowledgeable tour guide! Would recommend this tour guide for anyone coming to St. Louis!

Great time and learned alot

Christina_O, Oct 2025
It was a fun time learning things that we didn’t know and seeing places that you normally can’t go. Mark was very informative and had a lot of knowledge about the history of the area. We will definitely recommend to our friends and do it again!!

Interesting & Pleasantly Surprised!

Crystal_C, Sep 2025
We picked this tour because we have seen the Lemp Brewery on most of the ghost hunting shows. We alwere excited to see what we would see. I enjoyed all the background and history of the family and buildings. Seeing different areas of the neighborhood and how they tied into the history of Lemp was also very cool. Getting to go inside of 2 buildings was amazing. You could feel the energy inside for sure. I would love to go back with equipment and see what more we would notice or see! If you have experience with paranormal you will not be disappointed!! After the tour talking with my husband, we realized I must a seen legs of a spirit during a blackout session. I could see nothing else just a pair of very white legs. He could see absolutely nothing during this time. I'm sure we will never know for sure, but there was definitely activity occurring while we were in there. Watch out for the Scooby Squad, if you know you know😉😀

Went long but learned so...

Informative, enjoyable and entertaining tour.

James_W, Sep 2025
You will be doing a fair amount of walking and climbing some stairs. Wear comfortable shoes. Guide makes the tour interesting and shows photos of paranormal activity to participants on his iPad. took some teens and pre-teens with us on the tour and they really enjoyed it.

Lead by a true paranormal...

Debra_B, Aug 2025
Lead by a true paranormal investigator who knew so much history of the Lemp Mansion and Brewery and so much more! Fantastic pictures captured by him and people who have been on the tour. Loved going into the tunnels. If you like paranormal do this tour!

Wonderful evening

Had a great time. Beautiful evening for a fun walking tour. Dr. Mark was an excellent tour guide. Learned a ton about the Lemp family and their tragic life. After the tour enjoyed the brew pub right across the street.
