Dani was a great tour guide! She had lots of information and kept the tour very interesting! Walking around downtown Birmingham was a blast. I would definitely recommend!

The place to park was 8 miles away from the place of where we were supposed to park. I’d really like to know how that makes sense. I showed up at the parking location at 7:40 then drove around trying to find the place to park. When I couldn’t I called and the address they told me was the place the tour started. Wasn’t going to make it to the location that it started by 8 so that was a complete waste of $80, seeing as due to your lack of communication and inability to give proper directions, I didn’t get to have the experience and wasn’t allowed a refund because I can’t cancel within 24 hours but that makes no sense either considering I bought the ticket the same day. Great work!!!

I'm terribly sorry that you did not have a good experience with us, but I do not understand your "8 miles away parking" comment. We are in the middle of downtown and there's parking everywhere, especially on Monday when most of the restaurants are closed. Also, please note that two hours before all tours guest are sent the following text message that very clearly states where to park...."Mon, Jun 12, 2023 6:00 PM This message ensures everyone has the correct meeting place info for the Birmingham Historic Tour Company. Birmingham Ghost Walk - Hotels, Churches, & Riots Tour start at 219 20th Street North, Birmingham, AL 35203 - candles are in the window. Parking is at any of the metered spaces along the side streets (you do not need to pay after 5 pm or on the weekends) or paid parking in the parking deck around the corner on second at 2010 2nd Ave N, Birmingham, AL 35203 The event begins at 8:00 PM Mon Jun 12; please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start time and maybe earlier on Friday and Saturday due to parking. Tours begin as scheduled, and we cannot accommodate late arrivals. If your reservation includes pick up and drop off at your hotel, then the directions do not apply to you, and we will pick you up as agreed. In general, we cannot do pickups for walking tours." The 24 hour refund policy is imposed on us by TripAdvisor/Viator, and not our personal policy. Concerning your phone call on Monday, I do not know who You may have talked to, possibly somebody at TripAdvisor. I receive all of our direct company phone calls myself, and did not receive a call from you on Monday evening.

Danni was fantastic. The night was full of facts, great stories, and photos to back up the incredible information. She interjected humor, intrigue, and history in her story telling. It is obvious that she did her research for this tour. We had a great time!!
