Knoxville Walking Tours — Attraction in Knoxville

Laura Still was a phenomenal tour guide on our ghost tour of the downtown area (Shadow Side Ghost Tour was the official name when we booked online). Her communication skills are excellent and make her stories engaging and interesting. She even dressed the part with a Halloween costume during our tour that took place a little less than a week before Halloween. We did have a few sprinkles on our tour, but Ms. Still carried on like a true professional through the weather and we continued to enjoy walking and hearing the stories of Knoxville's past. The tour guide has a brilliant setup with a microphone and speaker on a stick that will allow even a huge group the chance to hear every piece of each story even with loud cars booming by the group. Her ability to recall the most specific and interesting details makes the tour unique, enlightening and educational. She was accommodating to the needs of the group on the tour, minding for easily accessible routes for a member of the tour with a dog stroller. Most importantly to me, you can see Ms. Still's passion for the area's history. She seems well connected to many members of the community and these relationships have granted her access to so many interesting (supposedly haunted) parts of Knoxville. Ms. Still is so generous to share the stories of these experiences on the tour! I want so badly to be a Knoxville history buff, but I never make the time to educate myself on all the rich history available to us. I will definitely attend future tours and live vicariously through Ms. Still's stories until I can make that time for my own history lessons! Thank you, Ms. Still and Knoxville Walking Tours, for delivering an entertaining and...

My wife & I love traveling and that usually means “Road trip.” We generally include a walking tour or two and that often means graveyards 😉

We know a thing or two about quality versus crapola. Laura Still’s walking tour entitled “Side Street Shadows” aka “the original” is simply awesome. She speaks with confidence and led the group walk at just the right pace. Period dressed with a standing broadcast speaker, we were entertained and informed for 90+ minutes. Count on this… we will definitely be back and we will bring others to share the experience. We are sooo looking forward to taking-in Laura’s other walking tours.

We want to be clear on this… we highly recommended this walking tour to kids...

My family and I wanted to do the Ghost tour of Old City since it was our first time in Knoxville and we love history and ghost stories. So glad we chose this!! They were updating the website, so I called to book and he was so friendly and made it so easy to to accommodate us. We were the only people to book that date, so she gave us our own little private tour. We learned so many interesting facts and great stories of the history of knoxville. Lasted almost 2 hours and was a great time. We definitely would recommend this tour and would love to book another next time we come back to visit!! The money goes to the historical society too, which is...
