Matt stands out as the star guide here, with multiple reviewers praising his friendliness, historical knowledge, and engaging storytelling. The tour combines Memphis history with ghost stories, making stops at various locations including the Marine Hospital and French Fort. Guests appreciate the mix of spooky tales and genuine historical context, with some reporting actual ghostly interactions and spirit communication technology adding to the atmosphere. The meeting point offers convenient parking and a shop worth browsing if you arrive early. Most guests leave thoroughly entertained and educated about Memphis's haunted past. However, a couple of reviewers felt disappointed that the tour didn't enter buildings or visit all advertised locations, instead viewing sites from the bus or nearby. The experience seems to vary depending on expectations. If you're looking for an engaging historical tour with supernatural elements and don't mind viewing locations from outside, this comes highly recommended by the vast majority of guests. Dress warmly in cooler months since you'll be getting on and off the bus.
Amber was a great guide and we really enjoyed our tour. We were booked for a walking tour but a heat advisory forced them to cancel it, so they rebooked us on the (longer, slightly more expensive) bus tour for no charge. It was great to enjoy the stories and sights from the air conditioning but we did make a few brief stops to use some paranormal investigation equipment, which was fun. Highly recommend this company for your tours, I'd love to do the True Crime tour next.
