Overview

We hear the tales of two of our haunted hotels, and three of the five original churches of the city. There is then the tale of murders most sad, which has led to the legends of the “Mermaid of the Lake” and the major riot that followed.

We enjoyed this ghost tour. It was one of the scariest tours I have ever been on that didn’t involve locking us in a dark basement. Would definitely recommend!

Our tour guide was excellent! He was a great story teller and was lighthearted and fun. The history of the Birmingham area was interesting and enlightening. Glad we did this tour!!!

I wasn’t able to go, tried to cancel 20 mins after booking and they wouldn’t refund my money. Very disappointing. I’m only in town for the evening.

TripAdvisor/Viator has a very specific 24 hour policy on booking refunds. We are very sorry that you did not see this and offered to reschedule, and Sunday was the requested and agreed on date. It is rescheduled, as requested. No mention was made of this being your only night in town. Just for reference, the 24 hour cancelation policy is clearly stated twice on the tour page and on the booking page after that.
