Went with a friend group and a boyfriend, drove two hours for it and pleasantly surprised was an understatement! If you love true crime and horror as I do, you will LOVE it— my friends were hiding behind me for 90% of it! If you’re a bit scared like they tend to be, our guide had many lighthearted anecdotes that ensured you felt comfortable and amused throughout. He was VERY funny and interactive throughout, which is sometimes rare with guides. The tour is around two hours long with multiple locations, and you definitely get your moneys worth! convenient bathrooms, beverages for very cheap (under a dollar), and a very very interesting gift shop with some spooky sentimentals. It was the best way to spend our night out!

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.

Wonderful story telling and very informational. The guide had us laughing with quick quips to ease the fear of being in such morbid locations.

What a fantastic tour of a beautiful neighborhood and some incredibly interesting and creepy spots. The first part of the tour is outdoors, covering the Lemp family and other interesting characters from the neighborhood. The second half is a fascinating peek into the old Lemp brewery buildings. I won’t spoil it for you, but the stories are great if you are interested in ghosts, true crime, or history. A great experience for St. Louis locals or visitors. I attended on a night with perfect fall weather, which really added to the atmosphere. Our tour had a big group of about 25 people on a Saturday evening which also added to the fun. I took my husband with me, and he said (and I agree) that it was probably our best date activities.

Highly recommend this ghost tour! The guide was knowledgeable, funny, and kept everyone entertained from start to finish. My older kids actually put their phones down — which tells you everything you need to know. Thanks for the great memories (and mild goosebumps)!

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!

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!!
