We had a great time exploring the Queen City on this ghost tour! The guide shared fascinating stories as we walked through Charlotte, ending at a historic cemetery. It was entertaining, spooky in a fun way, and perfect for kids..no nightmares, just good memories!
Historical events that are generally unknown.. ex: a Goldrush in North Carolina!

Elizabeth really knows the history and back story of the stops on the tour. Easy walking access to the locations we saw. My grandson and I both enjoy history and it always helps to understand ... "the rest of the story" and the reason that caused a particular event to happen.

Loved this tour! Really wasn’t too much walking and there were SO many history and ghost stories in the area we did walk around. Our lovely host kept this very entertaining and answered any of the questions we had throughout the night. Definitely recommend!
