Very neat and worth the money. The guide we had- Kevin- was awesome!!! He was so knowledgeable. This tour is very much about the HISTORY of Roswell. Our tour guide told historical facts that you don't normally hear about in history classes. There were very creepy areas we went to- like a graveyard and a couple creepy houses. Since it's at night, it also leans toward the scaries. If you are looking for a possible fright (we didn't experience anything crazy like other tours have), and lots of interesting history about the town, I would definitely recommend this tour! read more

Very fun activity! Learned about the founding families and the legacy they left behind to haunt the town. read more

It was fun and informative. Just wish it was a little longer. Some of the stories were very fascinating, which maybe there were some walking involved not just being on a bus the whole time. read more

We have been on ghost tours in shreveport, Austin, and Tulsa... so it was a natural for us to try this one in Roswell. We truly enjoy the history, the tales, and the sight seeing. It is absolutely true that the guide can make or break the tour though... and this one was broke! I'm not sure if it was our guide or if it as the actual content but there just wasn't the history or enough meat behind the locations. Her delivery was blah and she kept walking too fast for the group leaving parts of our group behind. She would then talk and tell stories to those around leaving others out. The group should determine the pace and all "stories or tales" should be heard by all. I think we have done 6 ghost tours now... and this one is at the bottom of our list. read more

I have been on several ghost tours ( Savannah and Jekyll Isl Georgia , Chicago and Galena , IL) and I can say with no reservations that the Roswell Ghost Tour is at the top of my list. From the organization of the group(s) at the start of the tour to the quality and friendliness of the guide during the tour made for a fun and informative event for my entire family! The guides are well informed and are open to questions at any time. If you are in to paranormal stuff and have the tools of the trade (emf meter, voice box) they are welcome too! Pro tip: wear comfy shoes and if you have a pocket flashlight, bring it!! Bottle of water is a good idea as well! I look forward to going in another tour soon! Thank you Roswell Ghost Tour for a great evening with my family! read more

If bad storytelling frightens you, this is the tour for you! Seriously, I've tried hard to find absolutely ANY redemptive qualities about this tour, but I am at a loss. I guess maybe that walking is good for you? Though even that was only 1.41 miles round trip. I firmly believe that any of the accolades achieved by this ghost tour were from the former owner/ operators. There is just absolutely no way this is the best ghost tour in the metro area. To be fair, it is 100% possible the other guides make this ghost tour worth taking, but I can say with 100% certainty that you should not, under any circumstance, book with Meghan/ Megan. She openly admitted several times that she was mixing up her stories. The whole tour was an incoherent rambling of third, fourth, and fifth hand accounts of anything loosely resembling a 'ghost' story. What's a fifth-hand account you might be asking? "A lifelong resident's sister's niece told my mother's friend she saw a curtain move in this house." This is not a ghost tour but rather a civil war/ history of Roswell tour. And Meghan's fondness for the South while recounting these tales borders on the uncomfortable. You'll hear Meghan tell inside jokes and stories that only long time residents of Roswell will appreciate, and swoon over David, the current owner of the ghost tour. Please note this is not simply my critical opinion, our group started with exactly 50 people - by the end, about a dozen were left. Comments resembling my thoughts above were heard with increasing frequency throughout the tour, and I was left profusely apologizing for dragging my friends up for this tour as our time would have been better spent watching Halloweentown on the Disney Channel - it definitely would have been scarier. read more

There's a reason why this tour has so much acclaim!! We saw and heard so much of Roswell's haunted history. Our tour guide Kevin was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Despite the near-freezing temperatures, no one in the group wanted to skip on any parts of the tour. HIGHLY recommended. read more

Overall it was an OK tour. It surprisingly had a large crowd of people for this tour. I'd say we started with 30 or so people. But by the end of it a few of them had left. They were obnoxious and was ruining the tour for the rest of us anyways. I wish they had a cut off or more tours in one day. There were only one tour a day, and on Friday and Sat only (At least in January's schedule) So I'd say it was 30% interesting info regarding the building and history, and 70% fluff. There were a few too many stories about what happened to other people during the other tours. I wouldn't mind a story or two but just pick the more interesting ones. 2 hours was a little too long as well. I think it could have been done under an hour and a half. It would also would have been cool to see the inside one or 2 of them of the buildings. Remember to bring warmer clothes than you'd think you'd need. Especially in January. Wear gloves and a hat. You'll thank me later. Go to the bathroom before you go cause there is no where to go, bring a flashlight and comfy shoes. Here are a few good videos about the tour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctUqsLpIcWY You can see that there are a lot of people that go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZdNsUrwnBk read more

Everything I hoped it would have been. Our guide was amazing. She sprinkled in a lot of interesting historical facts about the city and the houses. I was visiting from out of town and will certainly do the tour again when I come back! read more

This was a great tour! My guide Megan was very knowledgeable with the history of the area. I'm surprised at some of the other negative reviews. This tour provided exactly what it was supposed to - history, stories and visits to haunted locations. We even visited an old cemetery. I wasn't sure about this at first as I'm "sensitive" and didn't want to disrespect any spirits so I hung out by the entrance and everything was fine. I was thoroughly impressed by this ghost tour and the town of Roswell overall! read more

This tour was so boring. Doubt I would ever do this again. It was so boring that I can't come up with something that is more boring. It moved at a snail's pace. Was actually a fairly large group to start but the group started dropping out. I made it about an hour and didn't want to waste anymore of my time. Nothing spooky at all. Just boring info. I'm guessing only reason this is still in business is that it has zero overhead. Cost $20 per person and I was willing to eat it just to make it end. read more

Great tour with Lauren this Friday! Lots of great information about history of Roswell and great spooky stories. We are paranormal junkies ourselves so we knew exactly what Lauren was talking about. I would suggest to watch some ghost shows first to get to know some of the basics first (equipment ghost hunters use, different spirit forms etc.). We went to several old haunted places downtown Roswell including the Founders Cemetery which was very creepy. Highly recommend. read more

Roswell Ghost Tour - Founders Cemetery - Tours Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

Went on the ghost tour this past Friday and had a great time. Friendly, knowledgeable guides who are genuinely excited about the paranormal. Learned a lot about the history of Roswell and of course, the ghost residents. This tour is a must for all locals and would be a fun activity if you have out of town friends. The tour is a bit lengthy (at 2.5 hrs) so be sure to bring some water and comfortable shoes. Excellent date night at $15 per person. Happy I went on the tour! read more

I had the greatest time on this tour! It was very informational, and I loved hearing about the history of the city. The walk was not difficult at all, and I braved the cold to last the whole tour...which was well worth it! I'm sad to see that it is ending, as it is something that I wouldn't mind doing over and over again! I now have been inspired to go see the same sites in the daytime! read more

I was looking forward to the tour Their sign up process is very manual: they send you a confirmation email and you don't actual pay until you get there. This is their busiest time of year, so when we got 2 confirmation emails we figured they needed to move our time. We came at 8pm. We were told that we had missed the pub crawl option but they could "maybe catch us up to the group" or we could pay the $15 to go on a regular tour. After paying $50 round trip for an Uber from Atlanta on a Saturday night, we chose to leave and go to a bar read more

Im wondering if maybe we just got one of the B-list guides? The history was interesting (Although we already knew most of it, being Roswell residents), but the ghost stories were minimal and mostly stories of other people on the tour maybe seeing something. Our guide was nice, but very uncertain and uncharismatic. I knew not to expect a production, but he was so uncertain, he would end each story with "...but no one knows. Maybe." A little conviction would have gone a long way to sell it. Also, its way too long. 2.5+ hours is a bit much for such a slow-paced tour. We snuck off about an hour after it started and went home. It wasn't terrible, but definitely could be better. read more

I did this tour last year and I may just do it again this year. It's something fun to do, and if you like a little bit of history and a good ghost story or two, which I do (seriously, when I go to Savannah or New Orleans, I book just about every tour I can), then this is up your alley. It doesn't compare to the more serious tours in the other more touristy cities, but it's definitely nice to have in our backyard. I love the Historic Roswell area, so it was great to learn about some of the history and how the city formed. The group was a bit too big for us, which seems to be a common complaint, but the guide handled us well. Two hours might be a stretch on a warm evening, but there's a lot of walking involved so I understand. We stopped by a few houses, and went to a cemetery, heard stories. It's got interesting parts, some a little weird, but I get creeped out easily by ghost stories :) The "creepy" house is definitely creepy! I almost couldn't wait to leave. And yet, it was one of my favorite parts of the tour. The only thing missing is an inside tour of homes - that would be cool. And maybe a drink :) read more

Interesting information but might need a bit more structure. It's a lot of stories about stories that others have heard. I'd be cool if they skipped the "I heard someone once heard that someone saw...." stories and just added in real facts about the locations and town. Also 2.5 hours is way too long. This tour could be 90 minutes if they really worked at getting it streamlined and told better stories. Overall not a terrible experience, but just needs some tweaking. read more

Generally I think this is a great walking tour of the downtown historic Roswell square, though you do need to dress comfortably (especially for the season) and wear good shoes. It is a lot of walking, sometimes in deep darkness. The website tells the truth in that this is not a cheesy ghost tour like you often see walking through the streets of Savannah. The tour guides know the history of the Roswell area but they are also serious about paranormal activity. Jonathan was our tour guide and he was great. Really friendly and knowledgeable, and he did a great job handling a rather large group. The tour started at Bulloch Hall, went past a few other founding homes in Roswell, over to Founders Cemetery, past the old mill area, down to an old abandoned home (the "creepy house"), and back into the square. Each stop provided an opportunity to learn more about the location's history and the paranormal activity experienced at each site. (My husband, who is one of the most skeptical people in the world, thought he might have experienced something while on the tour as we stood listening to stories at Bulloch Hall.) Although the tour is not per se scary, I would not recommend it for children unless you ask for a special group tour. And if you do that, I would ask not to go past the "creepy house." The guide will warn you before going to this location that some people have had very negative experiences, ranging from sickness to physical injury. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, the stories about this location are quite unpleasant and are probably not well suited for some children or even adults. Having the tour end at this location was really a big downer after an otherwise great experience. But again, at least our guide warned us about this before approaching this location, and he said it would be ok to wait for the group elsewhere if you were not comfortable getting close to the house. In hindsight, I wish I had done this. Overall, this is a unique way to get to know Roswell. read more

Excellent and informative tour! Knowledgeable and attentive to her audience, Lauren was an excellent guide. We went on the tour expecting ghost stories and left with a history lesson. read more

I thought the tour was great! This was the 5th ghost tour that I have been on, and I am always a fan of when is is more on the historical side. I do enjoy hearing the paranormal stories, but I enjoy when there is a factual story of how it could have happened. This was definitely that! I would recommend the tour. We went on Friday the 13th and it was a perfect night. I live in Roswell, and had not explored the square in the way the tour allows you to do. The only thing we experienced was at the creepy house. I definitely felt unsettled here. One guy in the group was holding the guides main lantern, and when he pointed it at the house the bright light got extremely dim. The weird thing was that only about half of our group seemed to notice this, and the dimming light was not subtle. After we left the house the light immediately went back to it's normal brightness! Interesting! read more

Few thoughts about this tour: 1. NOT SCARY at all. Actually lovely and historical. Very informative. 2. Yes you walk 1+ miles. I loved that. Beautiful walk. Great views and homes to see. Good spacing in the stories. 3. Tour guides matter. We had a girl wearing tights who had worked there for 2 years but she was super boring and very uppity. She was not personable or welcoming. Can't remember her name. Most people peaced out by the end and left her. 4. Overall it was a lovely fall event that's totally family friendly. Would choose a new tour guide next time though. read more

It's not Savannah, but a good presentation on the ghosts and legends wandering around Roswell, GA. No, this has nothing to do with aliens and UFOs, this is Civil War-era ghost stories and paranormal events in places of interest, like the Roswell King mansion, Bulloch Hall and Founders' Cemetery. There's a good bit of walking on the 2-hour tour so wear comfy shoes and make sure to ask Dianna or Joe to take you to the creepy little house, it's pretty darn spooky :). Also a good idea to bring a flashlight and possibly something to drink (warm if cold weather, cool if warm :) ), but there aren't a lot of good places to use the bathroom on the tour so don't drink too much :). Husband and wife team of Joe & Dianna Avena know their stuff and Dianna wrote the book on the topic, "Roswell: History, Haunts and Legends." It's important to note that this is not a storytelling-type of ghost tour, Dianna & Joe are paranormal investigators who aim to inform and entertain, while telling of Roswell's current paranormal activity. Unlike the Oakland Cemetery Tour in Atlanta, this tour is year-round so you can always take out-of-town guests or folks interested in doing something new and there are great spots near-by to grab a bit for dinner beforehand. read more

The ghost tour was cool. The parts that were scary are really fun, but there wasn't enough scary parts. Our tour guide, MEGAN, was very rude and treated the kids with NO respect. She made the kids feel bad and Uncomfortable for trying to share their ghost sightings they were seeing throughout the trip. She kept blaming people for things that they didn't do and was just super rude the entire time. It was a good tour, but if they put more scary parts in it people would enjoy it more. read more

This was fun and creepy, Heather was great and kept Ed everyone entertained!! My whole family went age 11-adult. There was a creepy story about a little girl that definitely would make your shin crawl. You must go check it out yourself. read more

We were there on the 27th of February in the year 2016 and it was an awesome experience. Laura our guide was very informative and our group was a bunch of rock stars. It was very entertaining and you want to believe and see things. I'm pretty sure I did. The history is rich and comes alive in your imagination or perhaps your reality if your lucky. We laughed and learned and explored haunted Roswell throughout the night. It was a blast and if you are looking for a night out this is a must do. read more

Really fun tour. A lot of walking though which was difficult for my mom to keep up with but overall nicely done and some good stories.

I am so highly disappointed in this event. When we arrived, I was very excited. My father, who is a ghost and paranormal activities enthusiast found this tour so we decided to go to get into the spirit of things. The crowd was energetic and there to have fun, as were we. My disappointment began when we arrived at our first stop of the walking tour, Bulloch Hall. Living in the south, I knew before arriving that we would most likely be hitting the picturesque antebellum homes in the area. What triggered my disgust with this tour was when our guide referred to the slaves who worked on Bulloch hall, of which The Bullochs owned 31, as "workers." I don't know who they were trying to keep from offending, but it was not me. I was clearly one of the few people who was bothered by this sugar coating of an atrocity; I suspect mainly because 99.7% of the tourists were white. As the tour continued, I could not get over this misrepresentation of history so my family and I left. If a company is going to claim to be affiliated with a legitimate historical society, which they stated numerous times, perhaps they should, indeed be historically accurate. read more

Told a lot of history and approached all paranormal stories with a healthy skepticism and detailed descriptions. Brought the area to life including the private home where Jimmy Carter announced he was running for President which neighbors a home visited by Teddy Roosevelt due to his family history with the home. read more

Friend of mine and I went yesterday and really enjoyed the tour. Lots of walking, and lots of stories that tell of paranormal experiences. The owner, Joe, is a very nice guy and the tour guide was very informative. The second to the last stop of the tour: The creepy house - creepy is the only word to explain it. I did not experience any paranormal activity while on the tour although my friend caught a couple of orbs in a couple of his photos. He and I did see something a bit strange (an unexplained fading, flashing light on a roof) but we didn't feel the need to bring it up. Although after the tour, I had a very strange dream about the creepy house that was distrubing and startling - not sure if that's related to any paranormal experience but it sure was one of the most uncanny dreams I've ever had. Joe's wife, Dianna, wrote a book about Roswell - I just started on it and it's a good read so far. All in all, it's a great attraction in the Atlanta area that's worth a visit! read more

We walked for about 2 1/2 hours. Ben our guide was very knowledgeable and we loved the history and information. We recommend this tour.

Good information and route but way too long. Our tour lasted three hours. Would have loved to have had them pick the best stories from each location. Lots of interesting stories and information but just too long and seemed somewhat exaggerated at times. read more

I have gone on 10-12 Ghost Tours in a myriad of cities and the Roswell Ghost Tour ranks among the very best! They really understand the balance of paranormal/history/entertainment that makes for a well-rounded experience. The Roswell Historic District is ideal for a Ghost Tour as it has stately old mansions, an 1800's Mill Village, and creepy local haunts all in an easy and scenic walking area. For the price this is two+ hours of quality time! read more

i'm a scaredy cat so i should not have done this but i survived! heard about them on the savings site GROUPON and got some discount tickets. my dad and husband were not impressed - thought they rambled too much and not scary. i was frightened the entire time - clinging to my dad or husband. the stories were fantastic and the storyteller set the mood. it's more story than situation - but i guess that differs based on your spiritual being or if ghosts decide to come out that day. it is not a couple hours as advertised but a little more than that - and a little farther than 1 mile. bring comfortable sneakers, a good flashlight and person to cling to if you are easily startled. also Tums might be good for weak stomachs! i'd recommend you to try this at least once - then you'll know not to go in the women's bathroom at J.Christophers unless you want the door to be flung open by a ghost! thank gosh i never went to the bathroom there! i was entertained on this journey... oh and it's not silly hokey stuff on this tour - just real stories and some local stories from people who have had experiences with the ghosts. no one will jump out at you from the company or try to hurt you. i heard they were on Ghost Hunters once... read more

Such a great time! Our tour guide, Beth, was super knowledgeable about the area's history as well as the hauntings. Beautiful old buildings paired with a nice walk. Would highly recommend. The whole tour was great! read more

The BF and I brought the dog on the tour last night for their once monthly 'bring your dog' night. The tour was good but the name is a bit misleading. It really should be the Roswell HISTORICAL Ghost Tour. The woman that gave the tour was very informative, shared a lot of stories and walked us all over historic Roswell. It was good exercise any my dog loved it. Word to the wise - bring bug spray to avoid becoming mosquito feed. read more

Pro: I thought it was a great tour. I have lived in Roswell for three years so it was very interesting to me to see and hear about what happened in this area back in the day. I have driven past these streets since I moved here and never noticed them, but now I look....and wonder! Our guide did a good job of story-telling. The cemetery was creepy and interesting. I'm happy our realtor didn't show us anything in that area. I've already driven by the small creepy house and wondered if "he" was looking at me. Con: Just after our tour began, I thought the counting of money collected from our tour and payment between the owner and our tour guide was pretty tacky. I think those housekeeping issues should be done after-the-fact. It took away from the eeriness and gave it a commercial feel. read more

Overall Johnathan did a good job. My only negative, is that towards the end of the tour is was more this is what happened here then the actual factual information i felt like we got for barrington hall and a few of the others at the start of the night. Johnathan did a really good job though telling stories with the right amount of drama, and suspense. We really enjoyed it. We want to go back when Chip will be there, so we will def be back. read more

This was a great tour. I enjoyed learning more about the history of Roswell. It was a perfect mix of history and tales of the paranormal. Wish we could have gone into the Bulloch House but will maybe try to take a tour of that some other time. The "Creepy House," definitely gave a very unsettling feeling and could tell that there were some very dark, disturbing energy there. Pam, our tour guide, was excellent! Bring a flashlight and wear comfortble shoes because it is a lot of walking! read more

More than a ghost tour--this is a real paranormal investigation! Although I'm a fan of the regular Roswell Ghost Tour, which is full of history and describes paranormal activity in the historic city center, the Investigative Ghost Tour is even better. Our tour guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. (This is not a hokey tour where people dress up and try to scare you.) You will receive the regular tour PLUS the chance to use equipment like the spirit box, EMF detector, etc. We heard a disembodied voice singing/humming behind the slave quarters at Bulloch Hall. It was amazing! read more
