Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the ghost tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can join the Asheville Abyss Ghost Tour, but it's recommended for ages 10 and up due to some mature themes in the stories. It’s a great way to introduce them to history through a spooky lens! Just keep an eye on them since the tour does go through some dark, atmospheric streets.

Q: What should I wear for the walking ghost tour? Is it really dark?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes! You’ll be walking for about 2 hours, and the streets can be uneven. Dress in layers too, since it can get chilly in Asheville at night. And yeah, bring a flashlight if you want extra light, though the guide’s lanterns help set the mood!

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather is bad? How does that work?

A: Absolutely! If the weather’s bad, you can reschedule the tour with at least 24 hours notice. They understand that rain can ruin the experience. Just check your email for confirmation details. They’re pretty accommodating!

I went on the Asheville Abyss Ghost Tour last weekend with some friends, and it was such a blast! Our guide was really knowledgeable and had tons of eerie tales about the Jackson Building and the Basilica. The atmosphere was perfect, and walking through those historical spots at night gave me chills! Totally recommend it if you're into ghosts or just want to learn more about Asheville's history. It's such an unique experience!

I’m thinking about getting the Asheville Abyss Ghost Tour for my partner’s birthday. They love spooky stuff! Has anyone done it? What do you think? Is it worth the price? I saw it’s free but is there a suggested donation or something?
