We enjoyed our ghost tour around Franklin and learned a lot about the history of the city, in particular the sites around our tour. For example, I had no idea Edgar Allen Poe had ties to Richmond! Our guide was very animated and knowledgeable and, unlike the a previous reviewer, our tour did last...

Our guide was very animated and knowledgeable and, unlike the a previous reviewer, our tour did last the whole 90 minutes advertised.Z was entertaining but there were too many people on the tour. Please considering splitting up such large groups. Ghost tours are so much better when the group is smaller and the atmosphere is more intimate.

A few good history facts but it was pretty boring. I think the other tours that are offered by this company are better. Wish we had signed up for the a different one.
