Purchased a package for a group of 4 for the Lemp neighborhood walking tour. We had a good time and learned a good deal about this beautiful yet often forgotten corner of our city. Mark was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide and host and you can tell he loves the haunted history of not just this neighborhood but all of the stories and folklore in the region. During this tour we stopped in front of famous landmarks like the Lemp Mansion, Saint Agatha School, a private home which was once the neighborhood hospital for the quarantined people in that neighborhood, and of course the Lemp Brewery. The tour takes you through the start of the economic boom of this region brought along by beer, but you also hear about many more ghosts and hauntings other than the famous Lemp family. We went in mid-March so it was a bit chilly. That kind of added to the spookiness. We were completely comfortable and well bundled up. Mark keeps you moving on the walk so you don't get tired of hearing about any certain place and you don't get too cold! I would absolutely do another one of the tours in the st. Louis area and Alton that this group offers. It's a great and fun experience coupled with a nice dinner of many fine restaurants in the area, including of course Lemp Mansion. Good for a date night or for groups. Our group had people as young as 10 years old on up to 65. I even took a few photos that I am eager to email to the tour guide to see if he can see some ghastly faces in the...

NOT SCARY - Don't believe any of the comments who say the tours are scary- they are lying! The only thing that haunted me were the mosquitoes.

There is free parking along the street, the waiting room is large enough for groups and the restrooms were clean. I went on the "Lost Cemetery" and "Lemp Haunted Neighborhood" tours. Throughout the tours, you can hear music from the Anheuser-Busch Biergarten and (if you go on the right night) there will also be a party at the Lemp Mansion. It's impossible to get scared when you hear the Isley Brothers, "You know you make me wanna shout, kick my heels up and shout, throw my hands up and shout," playing in the background... LOL!!

I was also put-off by the tour guide who said another tour guide saw a black cat in the neighborhood and was followed by the cat. I showed him a photo of MY cat on my phone, a black cat who I've been raising for 8 years and who I love like a son. The whole "black cat superstition" is FALSE AND CENTURIES OLD!!

It's 2018- get with the program!! We're sending satellites into outer space and people still believe an innocent cat is going to bring them bad luck. A great poet once said, "I pity da fool!" (Mr. T) LOL!!

The images (supposedly ghosts) that people caught on their iPhones were only dust particles, bugs flying around, and reflections caused by the...

We had an amazing time touring the Lemp Neighborhood. We knew a bit about the Lemp Mansion's history, but Mark was able to give an even more in-depth look into the Lemp Family's past, their issues and why even more deaths occurred in the Mansion than just the family.

We also got a great history about the rest of the neighborhood and other hauntings from the area.

If you believe in the paranormal, then you are in for a treat as Mark has great examples of pictures taken from his own work and previous tour goers. There is a lot to explore and even more to learn.

If you don't believe, then this tour is still a great experience for the rich history lessons alone. This neighborhood has a deep history of grandeur and loss. Going from the very prestigious to the slums and back in a little under 200 years. Because of that the stories presented are fun and exciting to hear about.

Also, don't miss the infamous 1-Star story.

It is funny, it is educational and most of all it is a good way to spend an hour and a half.

I highly recommend...
