I really enjoyed this tour. David shared fascinating insights about Birmingham's history and its ghostly tales. His storytelling was both entertaining and infused with passion, even getting me to look for a "dragon eye" in the drains. I've experienced ghost tours in various cities, but this one stands out as one of the best. I highly recommend it.
Erica provided an excellent experience. The evening was enjoyable, filled with captivating stories. We appreciated exploring Birmingham’s history and getting a sense of the city.
The tour was a fantastic opportunity to discover Birmingham's history infused with spooky stories. Our guide, David, demonstrated impressive knowledge of the city and kept our small group engaged the entire time. I believe the experience would still be enjoyable with a larger crowd. I strongly suggest considering this tour or any offering from this organization.
Erica was exceptional at engaging our large group on a night in October. I valued her inclusion of historical insights about the city. It was an enjoyable experience for us, especially as we frequently visit Birmingham for work, allowing us to discover more about the area!
Our family greatly enjoyed discovering the eerie history of the town. Erica was fantastic, keeping us engaged and entertained throughout. We would certainly recommend this experience!
We had an excellent tour with David, who shared a wealth of information about the city, its history, and intriguing spooky stories. Despite our limited English, we easily understood and appreciated his quirky humor. The two hours went by quickly. After returning to our hotel, the Tutwiler, we took his suggestion regarding the elevator. Thank you, David and Birmingham Historic Touring Company. Highly recommended.
It was an enjoyable and engaging experience. David, our guide, was both knowledgeable and funny. I highly recommend this tour as a fantastic way to walk around and discover Birmingham.
The tour lasted an hour and a half, but with all the laughter and incredible stories from the past, the time flew by. We truly had a great time.
The tour was definitely worthwhile, and I plan to book through their website next time. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making us feel secure throughout. I enjoyed discovering Birmingham's rich history. We gathered at a small gallery with stunning artwork on display while waiting. I'm looking forward to returning with our kids and buying some art too. Just a tip: book directly through their website!
David is absolutely fantastic. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time with him last night! He was both humorous and very knowledgeable. Although we walked quite a bit, David made the time fly. We even considered inviting him out for a drink after the tour to discuss more about the city. Thank you, David! If you find yourself in Atlanta, feel free to reach out to me and Mike. -Ali
