Best Ghost Tour in Memphis!

This is such a great tour to get familiar with downtown Memphis, specifically the South Main neighborhood. Good mix of spooky stories and history! Daniel was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the city! I've recommended this tour many times and will continue to do so.

Daniel was very...

Daniel was very professional and offered a wealth of knowledge. Although we didn't see any ghosts, we definitely were able to gain history of Memphis with a little humor sprinkled in. I would recommend Daniel and his crew to anyone visiting Memphis.

A tour not to miss!

Daniel is an exceptional guide. He was born in Memphis and his family has been here for generations. While he shares some fantastic ghost tales around many downtown infamous sites, he also provides some very thoughtful insights of Memphis which that endured war, disease, depression and the plight of civil rights with alacrity and dignity. This town has many layers and Daniel has shown us how special this town can be when you look very carefully. This tour is an invitation to discover more about Memphis from someone who deeply loves the rich traditions and its history.
