Daniel was good tour...

Daniel was good tour guide. We enjoyed the tour. The streets were full because it was Saturday night but we were still able to hear everything and stick together.

Absolutely reccomend!

Daniel was an amazing tour guide. His stories were told well and his interactions were engaging. Hearing the haunted history of this part of Memphis was fun and educational. I definitely reccomend this tour. Fantastic way to spend the end of my birthday.

Memphis History Up Close

The night we went the weather was perfect. It was a very small group. Our guide did a great job. Loved the history he told us.

Wonderful intro to the spooky side of Memphis

This tour gave a great intro to Memphis's history along with the ghost stories. Our time with Daniel was packed with recommendations for hidden gems to visit during our stay in the city. He clued us in to restaurants and other attractions... several of which we visited and he didn't steer us wrong! I also liked that Daniel talked about the historical research behind the stories he was telling and differentiated the evidence from the theories. It was fascinating to learn what has been actually documented versus what might just be a tall tale. The 90-minute tour length was just perfect (not too long of a commitment but enough time to really get some good detail). The walking was not too strenuous and it seemed like the stories could easily be adapted to make them a little less graphic if there were kids on the tour. Excellent value (low price compared to other tours of this kind) and the check-in desk was very easy to find. I believe this is always a small group tour but we ended up having a private tour all to ourselves. Highly recommend this tour as a way to get historical context of the city sights (and some goosebumps as well).
