Wonderful time - We had a wonderful time with Liz! We learned some unique history about Knoxville and got to use the ghost trackers that detect energy of the spirits! That was a first for me and it was fascinating! 😊

Spooky History - Really enjoyed the spooky history of Knoxville. Keith was a very informative guide and provided a lot of historical information. My friend and I left the tour with some new and interesting/spooky facts.

Some interesting stories... - It was an extremely cold night and we waited in front of an abandoned building for 20 minutes before the guide showed up- he was on time but the site tells you to get there 15 minutes early. That isn't necessary. Our guide had a very quiet voice and it was hard to catch all he was saying with the passing car noise. I was disappointed that we never entered any of the buildings listed for the tour. It is a street tour only as an fyi.

History tour - I was very unsure about where to meet, as i am from out of town. There was no sign, no people to let me know , just an old abandoned hotel front. I missed out in this last year due to no signs to let me know i was in the right place so i gave up. I suggest some sign to help people. This year I attempted again due to the fact i was back in town . My family and i left our hotel a whole hour ahead just to find parking which was surprisingly easier to get than where our tour was to begin. You need signs!!

Lackluster not worth $ - Guide was hard to hear and seemed to just be some script. Had a lady hand us her card saying this tour was trespassing by the mansion.?!

Don’t do it! Worst time, bad guide - We went on this tour tonight and it was absolutely horrible; 1. Operator was late, we were told to arrive @7:45 for a start of 8pm. He arrived at 8pm. 2. ⁠No one in the group could hear him talking. He faced away from the group to where we had to rotate around him continuously to hear anything. 3. ⁠It was only 35 min long! 4. ⁠We didn’t attend any locations we were supposed to 5. ⁠The parts of the stories we could hear were nothing notable. 6. When requested a refund for this crappy experience I was told “No refunds given”
