Amazing Artie

Megan_F, Apr 2024

We loved the tour! Artie was passionate and knowledgeable, often making history come to life. A must see ghost tour when visiting charlotte. Our favorite part was the cemetery visit at the end of the tour!

Fun way to learn about the city

Ann_C, Apr 2024

Was a great way to see parts of the town. We are a family who loves stories of history, so the stories were great! And knowing that they do a deep dive into "experiences" before making it to the tour makes this even more interesting. And our tour guide was GREAT!! had a really good time and would recommend for anyone looking for something different.

Good bye Freddy!

Mauricio_T, Apr 2024

When We were looking at the Dunhill hotel from the opposite corner and in front of the old theater all the group said good bye to Freddy, scary

The Carolina History and Haunts was awesome. Our guide was Elizabeth. She was charming, entertaining and dramatic in the best way! She would even play off loud car noise or passerby comments so well! The stories were fun and interesting and the sites inspiring. Highly recommend!

Haunting Fun plus the Facts

Terry_S, Oct 2023

Our guide was Enthusiastic and shared plenty of historical facts about Charlotte. Even gave suggestions of things to look up for facts and evidence. We learned so many reasons why Charlotte is haunted !

I’m sorry, but it was not...

Morgan_K, Oct 2023

I’m sorry, but it was not a good experience. It all seemed like made up stories and I don’t really feel like we got much history out of it. The first facts about the Irish pub were really great but everything else was just nonsense. Even the tour guide kept calling himself a skeptic because he couldn’t convince himself of the bad stories he was telling.

Elizabeth did a great job...

Lorraine_P, Oct 2023
