Fun and engaging - Tad was excellent. He was very clear and competent in his facts. I have lived in the area for over 20 years and yet learned a ton a new details. It was a fun tour and well worth the money and time. Tad clearly was a fit for his job.

SO FUN!! - We had such a great time on the Haunted Asheville walking ghost tour! We went as a family, including our 8-year-old, and it was the perfect mix of spooky fun and fascinating history. Our guide, Christian, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, funny, and great at keeping everyone engaged the entire time. The tour wasn’t overly scary, which made it family-friendly, but we still learned so much about Asheville’s dark and mysterious past. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Asheville!

Interesting backstory - Our tour guide gave great insight into the history of Asheville and the paranormal activity in the downtown area. It will be fun investigating these stories in our own.

It was a lot of fun,... - It was a lot of fun, especially if you’re a history buff. I love both the historical and paranormal side of this tour. The tour guide was fantastic! It’s definitely a bit of a walk but honestly I enjoyed that aspect of the tour a lot. If you enjoy both the paranormal and history, absolutely go on this tour. 10/10 would do again💜
