Downtown Nashville Dead of Night Haunted Dark History Walking Tour

Overview

Book Directly With Nashville Ghosts and save $5/person.
Nashville Ghosts takes you on a haunted walking ghost tour to explore the sinister side of this electric city. Walk with us through Broadway’s active nightlife and find out the sinister secrets hidden in some of the area’s most popular locations. Learn about the bar where Hank Williams Sr. still grabs a drink or the storied history of the legendary Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry radio show. Listen to the tragic aftermath of the 2010 floods that devastated the area and added a deep psychic pain to the whole area.

The city existed long before the music industry, and while that makes up a large portion of their modern identity, there is a rich history that adds to the depth of the area’s paranormal history. The stories on our tour will likely disturb and frighten you, but they will also provide a fascinating window into a version of the city as it was, and the version you will see today.

Tour guide didn’t show up, then called to say they were running 30 minutes late if we wanted to wait, if not I would be able to ask for a refund since the tour never happened. I can’t find a way to contact the tour place specifically, and TripAdvisor has not given me my refund yet. It has been a month and I haven’t been able to reach anyone for my money back!!

We booked a tour for 8:00 and our tour guide never showed. We were there 15 minutes early (as the confirmation instructed). We stood around with another family for 20+ minutes. The company’s number is no longer working and no one responded to the online form we submitted. Do. Not. Book. It’s a scam. If we could give 0 stars we would.

The tour was half on Broadway which was so loud, we couldn’t hear any of the stories. Our guide did the best they could to accommodate asking if we needed to hear the story again and trying to find alleys where we could hear them through their mask but it took away from the storytelling. I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone that is looking for some spooky tales- it just falls short.
