No we don't just hang out in the parking lot. We actually go to a number of locations with the courtyard being one. First, you make it sound like we walk around the parking lot and street behind the courtyard. god, wish i would have stayed in the hotel and watched Netflix on my laptop,ĪLSO, the guide and guests did not follow any social distancing guidelines: no face coverings, no 6 feet apart (We left a $20 tip bc of the charity) i think most people don’t leave a bad review bc its for charity.

We thought of not leaving this review since the proceeds go to a good cause (charity) but this tour was such a joke and so not worth the $25 per person plus the tip we left. Have the tour guide and guest comply with the social distancing regulations and wear a face covering or at least ensure 6 feet apart (to the very least right now during the peak of the pandemic). Lose the gadgets.the gadgets make tour way more fake and literally stupid.Ĥ. Improve stories and/or story telling style of the guides ģ. pick a different, more spooky tour route (not the backstreet of a hotel and a parking lot) Ģ.

Recommendation how to improve this tour: 1. To be honest it was a B.S tour and totally not worth more than $5 per person (being very generous). She kept referencing an ipad of “scary photos” that could easily be constructed with a computer. The stories were fine i guess but the tour guide often lost my attention as I found them at times not too relevant and/or her story telling style not too engaging (on one occasion she read a letter story from a piece of paper). The highlight of our tour was that we saw an actual wild bear (completely unrelated to the tour). The tour starts from the parking lot of a pancake breakfast restaurant just there and ends there as well. This is a ~1 mile walk on the street behind the Courtyard Marriott downtown Gatlinburg, where you are often left on your own to ‘investigate’ and capture photos of buildings on your own. $12 should be the ticket price per person, not $25. Would recomend fully researching ghost/haunted tours before buying.
If your employees rely on tips for most of their wages (like their official buissness website states) then management shouldnt ensure employees are given the proper tools to carry out their duties as ghost and haunted tour guides, not just guides. I believe it could be much much greater if tour guides are thoroughly informed and knowledgeable about the job they are doing, attention to detail is key. But everyone has bad days and I am greatful to have been apart of the tour. I hardly knew what she was talking about for long. Like speaking to ghosts by combining devices.

However because our tour guide wasnt confident in her speech delivery or delivering the story accurately, we spent more time listening to scrambled storylines than using the devices properly or to their full potential. We did get a lot of device activity during the 2 hour walk, including 10 pages of words from the electronic word translator- or which ever the proper name for the devise is - captured during our tour.
Management needs to display more mature, serious response to guests opinions and not take reviews personally. As long as the tour guide has studied their scripted ghost/haunting stories (each story told on this tour) and the group pays attention, the guide has proper training and guidelines to follow along withĪn accurate description of the tour listed on partner/sponsored sites in detail. I believe this tour has potential, "knowing your lines" is key in acting.
The punchline was "Ihoppa get you befor it gets me". Mind you I felt spiritually moved about the idea of prayer about to be said "A older native man gave us this prayer to say before our tour so to protect us, we will go ahead and pray, she said: Repeat after me:"Ahopoa" 2(x) we did repeated the very native sounding language. Our tour guide told a racist joke at the beginning that I didnt appreciate at all. Our guide was enthusiastic in the beginning and engaging throughout the tour. After reading the description of this tour I was excited to spend $75 for 3 of us to go ghost hunting with real equipment and hear ghost stories/hauntings for 2 hours.
