    What you'll see and do

    1. Once the grand gateway to the South, the Union Station Hotel opened in 1900 as Nashville’s most elegant train terminal — a place where soldiers kissed their sweethearts goodbye, gangsters slipped through under assumed names, and travelers from every walk of life passed through under the cathedral-like arches. But behind its beauty lies heartbreak and horror that never left.

    2. Once a place for locals to test out their talents before making it on to the stages of Broadway, now is haunted by murder and a crazed man who blew up the block because he believed he was possessed by lizard people.

    3. Skull's Rainbow Room

      Hear the tragic of story of David "Skull" Schulman the former self-proclaimed "Mayor of Printer's Alley'

      15 minutes here · Admission included

    4. Printer's Alley

      Printer's Alley, located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, has a fascinating and eerie haunted history that adds an extra layer of intrigue to its reputation as a historic entertainment district. This narrow, atmospheric alley has been a hub for nightlife, music, and various businesses since the mid-19th century. The Alley's Name: Printer's Alley got its name from the many print shops that were once located in the area. The ghost of a printer who reportedly died under mysterious circumstances is said to haunt the alley. Witnesses claim to have seen him/her wandering the narrow lanes, sometimes in period clothing.

    5. High atop the hill stands the Tennessee State Capitol, designed in the 1840s by architect William Strickland—who was so proud of his work, he chose to be buried inside it. Beneath its elegant façade lies a darker past: Civil War tunnels once used to move bodies, whispers of footsteps after midnight, and stories of Strickland’s ghost still inspecting his masterpiece.

      5 minutes here

    6. Nashville City Cemetery

      Established in 1822, the Nashville City Cemetery is the city’s oldest and most storied resting place — and it’s anything but quiet. Over 22,000 souls lie beneath its rolling hills, including governors, slaves, soldiers, and sinners. During the Civil War, both Union and Confederate dead were laid side by side, their blood-soaked ghosts said to still roam among the tombstones.

    Great host

    Information and hosting were great. Traffic in Nashville caused us to be unable to see pay off the your and that appeared to be the most interesting part

    Great way to tour Nashville

    Excellent way to tour Nashville without self driving and major crowds. Our guide, Brown Recluse, did a phenomenal job (despite the drunk chick from Boston) and knew the history. Excellent trip overall!

    Nashville's Ghost Bus: A True Crime Ride Along Haunted Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Nashville's Ghost Bus: A True Crime Ride Along Haunted Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 Nashville's Ghost Bus: A True Crime Ride Along Haunted Tour 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 Nashville is not rushed.

    Is Nashville's Ghost Bus: A True Crime Ride Along Haunted Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 432 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 Nashville's Ghost Bus: A True Crime Ride Along Haunted 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 Nashville's Ghost Bus: A True Crime Ride Along Haunted Tour 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 Nashville's Ghost Bus: A True Crime Ride Along Haunted Tour?

    +

    Around 151 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Nashville's Ghost Bus: A True Crime Ride Along Haunted 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 RCA Studio B & Country Music Hall of Fame Ticket Combo, Nashville's Wildest Honky Tonk Public Party Bus (21+). 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.
