The tour is an outdoor walking tour as such there is plenty of room for social distancing and masks are optional, It is wheelchair and stroller accessible and service animals are allowed. Unfortunately, due to the late completion time, the Trollys don’t run that late but we do offer free parking and of course, taxis and Uber, Lyft are available. The walk is about one mile all on flat paved ground spread out over 2 hours with lots of stops so a messy relaxing walk but no places to sit or restrooms are available during the tour. This is not a private tour groups can be as large as the upper 20’s in the busiest times but average in the high teens to low 20’s.

Just do it!
Pete was great. Some in our group got to carry some equipment that let the spirits share words with us. As soon as we got them we started getting words. Pete gave us great information about events in the area and some of those names were coming up on the device as well as others he did not know. We got puncture, van, dead which made me think someone may have a car issue. Then we got animal and we saw several bears. It was a great time.

Haunted walk with Pete
Pete was our tour guide and he was great to talk with. Real world experiences and a definite passion for the unknown. My daughter is the ghost hunter and she loved getting to hold the ovilus. The historic stories of Gatlinburg were relevant for the walk and we tried to catch a little something in photos but no luck. It was still a great tour. Me and my daughter loved it!

What a great time!
we had a great experience last night. Mark was great. He explained everything very clearly. He had some palo santo and cleansed us. Although I didn’t catch anything, my husband the non believer did and it freaked him out. He’s now a believer. We got to use some ghost hunting equipment and we definitely got some things on them. There were 4 of us on the tour so it was a more intimate experience. It was a beautiful night for a beatify walk. Definitely wear some comfortable shoes when you go. We found a discounted fee which was great for our pockets. Be prepared it’s a 2 hour walk up some steep hills in some places. No breaks! Go to the bathroom before your tour. Thank you Mark for a great time. I definitely recommend to everyone wanting to do a ghost tour.

2 hour Extended Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gatlinburg.
How much does 2 hour Extended Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gatlinburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 hour Extended Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gatlinburg is not rushed.
Is 2 hour Extended Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 1,218 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Gatlinburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 hour Extended Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 hour Extended Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 hour Extended Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg?
+
Around 426 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gatlinburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gatlinburg and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 hour Extended Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gatlinburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gatlinburg?
+
Gatlinburg is the front door to Great Smoky Mountains National Park: guided hikes to waterfalls, Cades Cove wildlife loops, ziplines, whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River and moonshine tastings in town. Trailhead transport is the main logistics question. On Outty we rank every Gatlinburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Ultimate Wine, Shine & Bourbon Experience, Mountaintop Zipline 2-Hours Activity, The Escape Game: 60-Minute Adventures in Gatlinburg. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gatlinburg?
+
April to June and October for autumn colour. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gatlinburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
