Christian was informative and he had a great sense of humor. His actual experience as an investigator in paranormal activity added authenticity. The pace of the tour was just right as the group was about 20, with guests of varying ages, including a woman in a motorized wheelchair.

No complaints. Tour was informative and fun. Normally this isn’t something I would enjoy but I really did. I would do it again.

Tad was great! He covers some amazing history of Asheville, mixed with chilling and fun stories. So worth our time and has definitely increased my desire to experience more of Asheville first hand. Well done Tad!

Tad was very informative and engaging in teaching and showing us the haunted history of Asheville!! He gave us a tour that could itself be done in a history book!

Fun, informative, historic and spooky tales. The guide was very knowledgeable about not only haunted history but Asheville history.

Interesting to find out some history of Asheville. And of course with it being a ghost tour some folklore and “sittings”.

My husband and I and our pups did the supernatural tour with Tad this past weekend and it was a blast! They were so welcoming to our pups and the walking tour was a fun way to see different parts of the city that we wouldn’t have seen on our own and hear lots of fun/creepy stories about different places that we wouldn’t have known other wise. Tad was absolutely amazing! He was so animated and entertaining to listen to! We really enjoyed some of the mind bending stories that made you looking at some of the supernatural ideas a lot differently! Overall 10/10 recommend! Thank you so much Tad for a great tour!!

Tad was a good guide, informative and funny but the tour group was far too large with more than 50 people. Walking through ashville with that large a crowd was ridiculous.
