Olivia

This ghost tour was absolutely incredible! Our tour guide michael was super accommodating when we arrived late due to some wrong turns. He gave us a plethora of ghost stories mixed with history about Birmingham and even some fun facts. Will definitely be booking a Ghost Adventures Tour in another city in the future.
Shawna

My husband and I went on the ghost tour in Birmingham AL and Michael was our tour guide. He was super informative and knowledgeable about the history of the city and we walked away with so much knowledge and respect for the area. It was so fun getting to walk around and learn about the different tragedies that took place in the very buildings that still stand to this day. Next time we’ll wear some more comfortable shoes for sure though lol!

Liz was great. I had my two daughters with me and they had a great time. They couldn’t stop talking about it.
Clayton

Shawn was a great tour guide! He was able to share lots of very informative historical accounts, many of which having an interest in local Birmingham history I had no idea about. Would highly recommend taking this tour if interested the paranormal as well as local history!
Tony

We had a great experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and provided plenty of information during the tour. The length of the tour was sufficient and provided several locations with their background stories. However, we would have liked to have seen the inside of some of these buildings since some were open at the time of the tour. Thank you.
