      Visit the only state capitol where a U.S. president is buried on-site. Guests will hear the eerie story of President James K. Polk, whose ghost may be lingering due to a controversial reburial. Learn how the Capitol's halls have seen politics, power—and possibly poltergeists.

      15 minutes here

    3. St. Mary's of the Seven Sorrow Catholic Church

      Nashville’s oldest surviving Catholic church holds more than just spiritual history—it’s said to be watched over by something more ghostly than divine. Travelers will hear about the funerals of Civil War soldiers, unexplained shadows seen during Mass, and how the “sorrows” of this place might echo louder than we think. Gothic architecture and gothic tales await.

    6. Skull's Rainbow Room

      Located in the heart of Printer’s Alley, Skull’s Rainbow Room has a glittering past filled with jazz, burlesque, and booze—but also a darker history. Guests will hear the chilling story of David “Skull” Schulman, the beloved owner who was murdered on-site in 1998 and is said to still watch over his bar. Lights flicker, glasses clink with no hands nearby, and some say Skull never really left.

    The tour was well done...

    The tour was well done with lots of history and ghosts! I recommend going! I brought my 15 year old and he really enjoyed it too!

    Great Event for Day 1 of vacation

    The tour was fun and interesting. Briley was funny and friendly. We split into groups and used dowsing rods on the capital lawn for a mini ghost hunt. Seeing the city at night was exciting. Wear comfy shoes, pee before getting to the meeting spot, and be ready for a nice social experience. There are lots of stairs at the capital portion of this tour. Recommend doing this on the first day or night of the trip. We would have planned, scheduled, and experienced completely different things had we done this the first night. We would have spent minimal time on Broadway and hit several places on Printers Alley.

    ooooOOOOOOoooooOOO 👻

    It was a great experience! Some spaces are a little dark to see so I brought a flashlight. You see the night life, learn history and hear of the spooky stories. Our tour guide was great and friendly, and open to all of our questions. Definitely recommend!!

    All the stars to our tour guide!

    Our tour guide, I didn't catch her name, was fantastic! Alot of walking, obviously and there were some people out on the street being rowdy but my Husband and I had a great time. There was a good mix of ghosts and history.

    Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nashville.

    How much does Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nashville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Nashville is not rushed.

    Is Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 113 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nashville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour?

    +

    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 Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour?

    +

    Around 40 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 Nashville 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 Nashville and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour 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 Nashville 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 Nashville?

    +

    Nashville's activity mix is unusually music-heavy: Ryman and Opry backstage tours, RCA Studio B sessions, songwriter rounds and honky-tonk crawls on Broadway. Around that sit distillery runs to Lynchburg and general-admission pedal taverns. Outty Ranking penalises the crawl operators that oversell group size, which is the most common complaint in this city. On Outty we rank every Nashville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Nashville: Authentic Food Tour with 5 Tastings of Local Dishes, Nashville's Wildest Honky Tonk Public Party Bus (21+), Nashville RCA Studio B & Country Music Hall of Fame Ticket Combo. 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 Nashville?

    +

    April to May and September to October, when patios open and the humidity drops. 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 Nashville?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour?

    +

    Included: Government fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour?

    +

    Your guide will be waiting near the old fountain in the center of Church Street Park, wearing a Nashville Adventures shirt and a big smile. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers; and Not Recommended for travellers with mobility issues. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Haunted Nashville: Ghosts, Legends & Hidden Histories Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
