I gave this 4 stars because of Tads energy and knowledge of the legends and history of the area. I have been on other ghost tours and fully expected it to be full history and local lore. My issue was the crowd was way too large for me personally and the raucous night life with the loud cars proved distracting. If you dont mind large crowds and listening from afar to your guide as loud mufflers and music go by then Tad is your guy. None of these thing were foreseeable for my husband and I. Tad is truly a talented and energetic storyteller. The setting just wasnt for us. With that being said, you may love your experience. Ill stick to smaller groups and lesson learned I will ask questions in the future before booking a tour regarding group size, the area itself, etc.

We took our tour last night with Brian and it was fabulous. I am so happy we got him as our guide. He is a wonderful storyteller and his passion is contagious! We learned so much cool history about Asheville and the surrounding areas and it had the perfect amount of paranormal. We’re sharing with our family and friends and will definitely do this again when we return!

The tour was full of eerie stories which was expected, but I also learned a lot about the history and background of how Asheville came to be. Our guide, Tad, was very knowledgeable and animated story teller.Our tour was on a Sunday night, and there were about 50 people. Social distancing was a little challenging at times, but they strongly encouraged the use of masks and the vast majority of people complied. It was easy enough to avoid the small handful of people that did not wear a mask. The guide was wearing a mask between each stop and only removed it at each stop along the tour when he was a safe distance away.

Brian was a great and enthusiastic guide. Learned the history they dont tell you in about in school. Be prepared for lots of walking and dress weather appropriate as you are outside the entire time.

Definitely ask for Brian! My girlfriend and I attended his walking tour and it was wonderful! We both had an amazing time. HIGHLY recommend!

This is a fun and interesting tour! We learned a lot about Asheville history and also about old legends and spooky places and Asheville ghosts. Walking the city at night is wonderful as we could take our time to look at so many architectural details! The ghost stories, the interesting places and the knowledge of our guide made our night so special!

So much fun. Our guide Christian was extremely knowledgeable and nice. Hearing all of the ghost stories and seeing the sites of Asheville was really cool. Highly recommend checking out the tour when you visit.

Brian was our host. He loves Asheville. He is a history buff. He is a paranormal expert. AND it shows in his storytelling!! Enjoyable experience. Wear good walking shoes!!

This was an excellent tour. Tad was very knowledgeable about Asheville. If you visit Asheville, this is a must! It gives you a dark and interesting history of the town

At first I missed the beginning bc the mmeting map given and the original map were completely different. I chose this tour bc the location correlated with the other events my boyfriend and I were doing earlier that day. HOWEVER, we stumbled upon a tour that just started and we were allowed to join in. McLeod was his name..he was very kind, knowledgeable and witty. I had a great time and definitely recommend it...just keep in mind that they send a map in your conformation email and it might be different from the one on the website.

The tour was not as detailed or specifically related to Asheville and could have been done anywhere. We were extremely disappointed at the end when we asked about the museum tour that was supposed to be a part of the tour and found out it is no longer included. The site clearly stated that the museum tour was included , the tour guide said Oh we have been trying to get that taken off our site for 5 months now. I said you still could have listed that fact in your confirmation e-mail. Definitely not worth the money, would not recommend or go again!

Was looking for something for my daughter and I to do since we had a car rental for the weekend for a different event the previous day. Found this online last minute and had just enough time to drive from the other side of Greensboro to make the tour. So glad we did because it was not a disappointment. Even got to enjoy a little bit of the Asheville nightlife! Great experience and great town!

Not a ghost tour but more educational. The guide was great but nothing scary about this tour. The information was educational but to advertise as a ghost tour is a little misleading.

Great tour with Brian. Knowledgeable, fun and very interesting guide. We had a great time!

Our tour guide,BRIAN, made Asheville come alive. Learned a LOT of Asheville history. Which tied in the ghost stories and experiences better. The ghosts mean a little more when you know where they come from. Ghosts arent relegated to spooky houses and creepy graveyards. Sometimes they are right out in the open

Enjoyed the tour. Learned a lot about the history of Asheville.

Had an incredible time on this tour, very historically informative and good exercise. As a local to Asheville I can say it is still very interesting and fun even if it is just to see all the tourists take spooky pictures. I will give the warning that to those who are not used to walking long distances or up hills there could be some issues with the walking tour though our Guide was very kind to wait for the slower individuals catch up, Highly recommend.

Learned so much about Asheville history and architecture, and the spooky side of it. Brian was excellent!

Loved the tour. My boyfriend and I had Brian as our tour guide. He was really funny and very knowledgeable about the city and genuinely enjoys what he does which makes it so much fun for everyone. The history was really interesting and he talks a lot about first hand experiences with ghosts too. We loved walking around the city and listening to the stories. I highly recommend this tour.

Awesome time! Came.away with some crazy pictures thst still have me scratching my head. Great time.

Tad gave an entertaining and informative your. I would recommend it to anyone visiting town.

It was amazing! Bought tickets last minute because I was looking for something to do. Well worth the price. Recommend to anyone who likes a good spook

Christian was great. Very informative and entertaining. I have to be honest though. At times I couldn’t tell if he was acting or just really into what he was talking about. I’m definitely planning on doing some fact checking on some of the stuff that he told us. Overall it was a fun experience.

This ghost tour was ok, I’m not sure why it has such high reviews. I’ve been on a few ghost tours in different cities and this tour wasn’t the best. The guide met with us and gave us all umbrellas because we had some storms forecast that evening. My umbrella ended up being broken and didn’t work to well lol. Some of the facts you learn are true but may of the ghost facts are fabricated as I called around and checked the next day. You will walk a few miles on this tour so have on some good walking shoes.

This was a fantastic tour! We went with low expectations- just looking for something to do while the kids were home from college over Christmas Break and we were totally blown away. The tour guide was friendly and kept us all captivated as we learned so much about the town and some of the local lore. It was really well done and we had a blast. Thanks so much for a fantastic evening that we will be talking about for a long time!

Thank you Tad for the awesome tour! Loved the conversation, history lessons, and all the gory facts. Tad kept things fun and educational, while giving us the feel of an inside look of Asheville.

I dont know I havent took the tour yet, but planning on it thus fall or early next spring

Tad was such a wonderful story teller! He described the history of Asheville very well. The ghost stories were well researched and well told. I highly recommend this tour!

A fun time with a lot of paranormal history. Brian was our guide and he presented the tour with a great mix of humor and seriousness. We have done ghost tours in several cities and it is always nice to have knowledgeable guide work personal experiences to share. Would recommend going with this company.

Great tour from Tad! Very informative and fun. Learned a lot about the history of the city. Would highly recommend doing this ghost tour!

Would leave 6 stars if I could! Such an awesome tour with so much history and some fun ghost stories. Guide was hilarious and obviously very knowledgeable of Asheville and its history.Definitely go do this tour if youre considering it!

Went tonight with my girlfriend. I’ve done many ghost tours all over the country and this was by far the best one I’ve ever been on. Lots of interesting history about the city infused with some of the most terrifying paranormal occurrences I’ve even heard. Our guide (Brian) was very enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. You could tell he knew what he was talking about and wasn’t simply reciting a script. The locations you go can feel pretty eerie and the museum at the very end has some very bizarre and fascinating items. I would go again on my next visit to the city. For anyone with the slightest interest in the paranormal, I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly.

Christian was a awesome guide, very knowledgeable and funny! We got some good activity tonight I highly recommend this tour!

Tad was a great tour guide. Enthusiast host that made walking the streets of Asheville fun and spooky. Good way to get to know the city and its history. Great way to spend an evening after dinner.

Our Classic Walking Tour with Brian was amazing! Full of history and very spooky!

Really neat way to explore Asheville. Christian was friendly and gave a great tour. Didnt see any ghost... . Worth the time.Only downfall was all the second hand smoke. Tour guide was smoking so it was kind of hard to avoid.

Tad was an excellent guide, very animated and knowledgeable about the history of Asheville and ghostly occurrences. I definitely recommend the Haunted Asheville tour to anyone that might have the slightest interest and I’m looking into the paranormal tour they do.

Tad was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Also, very mindful of the safety of the group. Good way to spend your time. We will do this again. Highly recommended

Tadd was amazing. The tour was very interesting and fun. Tadd knew so much about Ashvilles history and was very funny! I personally enjoyed him taking the time to discuss several things with my family. We had several questions for him and he stayed to explain all of our curiosities. Highly recommended!

If you like to walk up hill and laugh and have a all around good time get some friends with a sense of humor and go hear some ghost stories mixed with history of the area and you want be disappointed.

Such a blast! So informative and funny. Walked all around the downtown part of the city as well. Christian was awesome!

Brian is the best guide ever! He is so informative and knowledgeable about all the stops. You can tell he really loves what he does and also loves spreading the history of Asheville to others. The stops are really neat and the museum at the end was cool. Brian isnt afraid to answer any questions you may have. Our group had an absolute blast and I cant wait to go back and do the tour again!

This was a lot of fun, our tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. His passion and animated story telling made for quite a fun evening. I would recommend doing this as it is a great history lesson about Asheville

Very entertaining..cool experience, great tour guides!

Funny tour guide. Way Too much about politics and too anti Christian vs actual ghost stuff. Very Interesting info about the city. But it wasn’t spooky. Just historic. More like the history of Asheville in a few places where ghostly things might have happened.

We had a great time! Funny & informative & a little supernatural all mixed together.

The classic walking tour is good. Not only will you hear ghost stories, but also, you will learn a lot of history of the city. Brian was a great tour guide. I would give it a 5 but meeting for the tour was a little aggravating. We walked to the tour, arriving 45 minutes early. We had walked a lot that day. We had been instructed to meet in the alley behind the masonic temple. Since the building appeared to be quiet and empty, I didnt see a no loitering sign, I decided to rest prior to the tour starting. I have been having therapy for my back and hip for a year. I am working hard to re-gain my strength. The other guide approached us asking if we would be doing the tour. He then told me not to sit on those steps and to go stand in the alley. I told him I didnt think it started for a while, so I would really like to rest first. He said he wasnt trying to be the police but when people are there, they would get mad over it. I sort of felt the way an employee would feel if their boss told them they couldnt be sitting, but their shift doesnt start for 30 more minutes. I just feel like what I was doing as a pedestrian before the group met shouldnt have been of their concern. Then when we got to the alley, we had to make sure not to stand anywhere except the alley because tenants in neighboring apartments would get mad. So, if you take this tour, dont show up too early unless you want to stand in one place the entire time you are waiting. Do not sit on those steps. Do not stand near the neighboring apartment building. Also, use the bathroom because there is nowhere to go before or during the tour. If there were a better starting place, I would have given it 5 stars. Brian was a good story teller.

Absolutely amazing tour. The tour is about 2 hours but the stories are fascinating.

Excellent tour. Fun and informative. Tadd made it interesting.

Excellent experience the staff was phenomenal that was phenomenal high Energy bring your own drinks or beer or anything you want on the bus they will entertain you for the whole time do not miss this while you’re here in avl loved it loved it loved itSit in the front seat. A HOOT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

This is a historical journey of epic proportion. Christian, our Virgil for this adventure, is very knowledgeable and provides a story telling experience that us unrivalled. This tour is a must for any trip to Asheville. The walk is pleasant with opportunity to sit and enjoy a verbal portrayal of historic events. And the museum is absolutely amazing. From the ever elusive big foot to chilling FACTUAL tales and artifacts.

!! Amazing Tour !! So many stories and information! Tour Guide was exceptional in every way !

We went. We had Chris. We didnt know what to think my wife and I were the only customers for the night. The entire tour was awesome. We got a personal seeming tour with chris. We went in learning a ton and ultimately came out as friends. Chris is awesome and taught us so much about Asheville during our trip. Be aware there is a decent amount of walking. We enjoyed it. The tour starts behind the temple and may seem sketchy at first but everyone is so nice and welcoming. Thanks again chris!

In 2016 My best friend and I try to find fun things to do when I visit her in Tennessee. We were spending a day in Asheville and impulsively decided to schedule the tour. We were a little hesitant at first when we met up and found out we were the only 2 doing the tour that night, that quickly changed! The tour guide was simply amazing! We had the best time, our tour guide was knowledgable, funny and went above and beyond!

The tour is fun, funny, thoughtful and packed with fascinating information about Ashevilles history. As explained at the beginning of the tour, the lens through which the paranormal is viewed is a historical one. This not only adds context to the surroundings, but also makes the stories come alive (or at least resurrected). Great storytelling!

If you want to know the citys history or about the local architecture its a good tour. However, if you want to see/hear about ghosts it is not the right tour. Most of what we heard was in the museum after the tour, which was mostly Halloween and toy stuff. He kept saying he had picture of this and that, but we never saw it.

Great guided tour. Very informative without being boring.

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Brian was informative, funny, and enthusiastic! It was a great time thanks

The Walking Ghost Tour requires A LOT of walking. But it was a pleasant walk. There were several people smoking which was annoying since it irritated my Asthma.

I was expecting fear-inducing theatrics but turns out that it was more of a historic tour. This was enjoyable nonetheless.

Lots of fun. Good stories. Tad was fabulous!!

Very interesting knowing some of the facts about Asheville.had good time.very informative.

Great history of Asheville and very creepy and entertaining tour! Definitely worth it!

Our guide Tadd was amazing. Fun guy, and makes sure everyone could hear him well. Was not expecting that big of a group(common to see 80 people in one group) but he made it work very well! Answers questions as they come up. You can see that he truly cares about what he does. You can sense the passion he has for these tours. He truly enjoys what he does. Learned alot about the city with him, and he is always checking to ensure that the group doesnt get split up.

Awesome tour!! We really enjoyed it. Informative and entertaining!

Awesome! Our guide knew tons of Asheville history and was a great story teller. Gave us great tips on other places to see as well. Well worth it!!!

Had fun. A definite must do in Asheville

Me and my wife are in town for a conference and thought we would do this for fun. We have been to Asheville many times but never thought to take a ghost tour. We had a great time. It was great to get the history of the town to go with the ghost stories.I highly recommend doing this tour!

This was fun...just a typical ghost tour, but theres so much interesting history here, you should absolutely check it out.

Very fun tour led by extremely knowledgeable people. Even if you dont believe in supernatural (as I dont believe in it), youll enjoy the stories about the history of the city, as well as famous crimes that happened here. Also, ask about restaurant recommendations.

Very well led and learned a lot about the city. Christian is a great leader for this tour!

This was sssooooo fun!!!The guide was full of amazing historical details about Asheville & the times... I know Ill def go again just to pick up on more details No matter how long youve been in Asheville you will be amazed w some of the facts

It started a little late due to traffic and an accident on the interstate, the tour guide even split the group into two, to give us a more personal tour. Very informative. A lot of walking but well worth it.!! Excellent job!!He did a great job, answered all our questions and the tour even lasted for 3 hours!! Go see them, learn the history that Asheville has to offer!!

The stories were great.. Tad knows his stuff!! We did the Supernatural tour....need to go back for the Ghosts now!

I have been on a lot of ghost tours all over the country. At the beginning of the tour, the tour guide brags about how this ghost tour wont be like any other ghost tour youve ever been on. Well...he was right. I really dont want to bad-mouth too much, but this tour is more like a city and architectural history tour with a dash of ghost story thrown in. Make sure to wear hiking boots and bring plenty of water, too. The tour is very hilly; But, I mean...its Asheville...its the mountains. The museum is fabulously corny. It has a lot of local evidence of hauntings and stuff. It reminds me of a Route 66 tourist trap location...but really, its great.

Great tour! Learned some cool facts about the town and Christian kept us entertained the entire time. I highly recommend making time for this if you are in town.

Amazing experience. A lot of fun and very knowledgeable on history. I love that they told the history according to records not just rumours. It was so worth every penny. The museum at the end is great too. Pictures and articles of the history. Thank you

This tour was fun. Our guide was very informative and excited about sharing the ghost stories with us. He gave us not only the lore, but the history behind the stories as well. Not your typical ghost tour, but really cool if you like learning about the area as well as some spooky happenings. Get ready to walk a lot though!

Brian was amazing very informative and kind. One of the best tours Ive been on

How interesting! It not only gives you history of Asheville , but some ghostly information. Our guide, Brian, was awesome and very passionate about the tour and open to answering any questions. A must do!!

Truly an authentic haunting that is usually sensed better in the evening and upon the Winter Solstice if you really want a close encounter!

Tad was our guide he did an excellent job. Good stories and the walking was comfortable since it was November.

Just OK....Guide was great....Just not scary....More historical facts than scary fun

Brian is awesome, very interesting and adds that twist of wicked humor... Liked him so much from the trolley tour, came back for the walking tour the same night. Would still come back for more, thanks for the great time!

Very fun! Incredibly informative. Would go again for sure.

I booked with some friends, and we all really enjoyed this tour. Tad was our guide, and he was very good. He is likeable and is a skillful storyteller about Ashevilles history and paranormal doings. He explained what makes Asheville a unique town unlike any other in North Carolina or, indeed, the South, and relates that to the deaths that led to current hauntings. Tad has a diverse academic background and works professionally as a folklore and occult researcher, all of which certainly enhance the depth and quality of his tour.I chose this original Haunted Asheville ghost tour because it was developed by Joshua P. Warren, who is an internationally known researcher in many aspects of the paranormal and the occult. If you have any deep interest or expertise in these subjects, this is definitely the tour you want to take, because all of the guides are engaged professionally with this subject.If I re-visit Asheville, Id take it again, and I recommend it to all visitors interested in historical hauntings.

Tad the tour guide was amazing! Very knowledgeable and interesting. This tour is really fun and you get to see some really cool parts of downtown Asheville. Also, at the end you get to see the supernatural musuem which was really neat too.

Tad McDivitt did a splendid job on this tour. He delivery on both the ghosts and history of Asheville were incredible. I was truly entertained and edge of my seat. My daughters are in agreement of my statements.

This was a great tour of the haunted places in Asheville. The tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history and hauntings.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

Our tour guide Tad was very entertaining and knowledgeable. This is a fun 2 hour tour with plenty of regular Asheville history mixed in with a good dose of the darker historical side as well.

The guide was very knowledgeable, funny, entertaining Fun for everyone in the family.

This tour was awesome... my boyfriend took me on this tour last night as one of my valentines presents. I love all this paranormal and weird.....we have already decided to go back for the Friday tour. We will be enjoying another of Tads wondeful tours in the near future... he was very knowledgeable and used history, intellect, and reason to discuss the happenings around Ashville...Thank you for the wonderful night.

Excellent guide, keeps it very interesting yet family friendly.

Fantastic tour; highly informative and engaging. The guides really help tell the tale of the city and its legends.

What a fun time but wear comfortable shoes.

Great stories and enthusiasm. Loved the tour

Tad was awesome. He was knowledgeable and can deliver an amazingly interesting tale. I could have listened for hours.

Tad is a total ball of energy. The tour is funny and entertaining and offers spooky family fun. Tads historical framing of the ghost stories will give you a great sense of Ashevilles past.

Very well researched, well presented creepy history of Asheville. Lots of fun, even though the number of people taking the tour was very large.
