5.00Jacob was an absolutely wonderful guide told so much about the locations and drew you into it’s history. Also I wish I had reviewed my pictures of the tour cause I could have shown the group a picture I took of the cemetery that showed a pair of shining white dots that look like eyes that wasn’t there in the picture I took minutes before by the tree in the back of the cemetery. Could be a reflection of…something there’s nothing but trees but it’s eerie!

1.00Poor lighting, poor walking conditions (up a steep hill in a cemetery in the dark), guide was difficult to hear
Not worth the money

2.00Tour was not interesting, stories where not even of real haunting. We went To a church and looked in the windows and there was no story to even go with the church. Over priced and definitely not worth it.
Not so scary but super fun ghost tour

5.00Lots of walking, up hill and down hill, so get ready. The tour guy was great, informative and funny. My youngest was not looking forward to this, but by the time we made it to the church, he was pulling his phone out taking pictures of every window looking for ghost. Would for sure do this again!

4.00When traveling we book ghost tours in different cities mainly for the history that will be told about the area that we are visiting. We booked a tour recently in Gatlinburg while we were there and unfortunately it was raining. I should mention that we were the only 2 people that showed that night for the tour (the crazy people in the rain). We still had a good time, learned from the stories that our guide Chad told us. Chad was a trooper, walked us around Gatlinburg showing us different locations and sharing the stories about the town. If you visit Gatlinburg we would recommend that you take the tour

5.00Our tour guide, Chad, told us some interesting stories and kept the tour exciting. We had a great time, even though a rude employee from the Gatlinburg Inn yelled at us for getting too close the building. Chad did a great job!
Fun way to experience Gatlinburg

5.00Interesting stories around the history of Gatlinburg and some of the more famed deaths during the cities growth. Went to a cemetery that was right in the center of town that you wouldn't know existed just by walking by. Chad was very animated in his story telling.
