The Birmingham Ghost Walk - Hotels Churches and Riots Tour

Overview

This is the introduction and exploration of our dark and interesting history and covers many of the main haunted and unusual sights downtown. We begin with the tales of the founding of our city as a rough and tumble mine and mill town, and continue through on with missing children, and spiteful murders.. 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. Then continuing through the darkness, with the shadowy footsteps that follow…to the discovery of a hidden cemetery or two…

We met with David our tour guide and was happy with his extreme knowledge and great personality. We have toured many ghost tours in different cities. Birmingham doesn't have as many ghost experiences as some other older cities, but David made the tour super fun with great lessons in history as well as some spooky stories! David is a good storyteller!

We are so glad you enjoyed your tour! I agree that we don't have the depth of history as some much older cities come up but we did pack in as much weirdness and adventure is our 150 years allows...and our history is not over yet...so...who knows?

Danni was a great guide. The tour was well worth it. We want to do the graveyard tour and the other city tour as well. Highly recommended.

We were on vacation in Birmingham and had paid for this tour a couple weeks prior to our trip. This company canceled our tour about an hour before departure time. We asked the guy what the availability was like for the rest of our trip to see if we could go another night, he wouldn't give us a definitive answer, so we asked for a refund instead since it was too much trouble to reschedule. He said he would refund us but never did. We contacted this company since then and they still have not refunded us!

1st of all, if you have not gotten a refund we most humbly apologize... The only reason we have canceled a tour recently is due to the extreme weather that has gone through Alabama.... So far as we know all refunds have been issued, but unfortunately your review Did not give me enough information to follow up with you and find out what has happened. Please send a direct email to [email protected] so we may take care of this and work with viator to find out what happened.
