We took a group of ten kids on a walking ghost tour and Franklin Walking Tours did not disappoint. Alicia did an amazing job weaving history into sorties that everyone understood. She kept the group engaged, answered questions and added crowd feedback into her storytelling. A great time was had by all.

Alicia is a vivacious, knowledgeable, and fun guide. She has a vast knowledge of the area, is an enthralling storyteller, and a joy to take a walk through Franklin with. She weaves your questions and observations into the flow of the dialogue, and greets friends and strangers alike as you walk through downtown Franklin. Walking with her feels like taking a stroll with a friend through their hometown and learning about it through their eyes and heart. Highly recommend her!

Alicia, is an all-star, her knowledge of the local history is extremely comprehensive. We met local business owners, found out about all the local shops, the history of how the battle of Franklin impacted the city in the aftermath. As a student of architecture, the city is super beautiful and the walk is very manageable, even included a little Air Conditioning then it became warm outside. I will go back and do her haunted tour in the future. Her personality wins the day, you will not regret your time with Alicia. Also the cookie was amazing, I'll leave you all wondering what that means!

Wow, such a generous review! I thank you, sir. It’s easy to have fun hanging out with new friends in historic Franklin. I’m so happy to hear you had a good time.
I apologize for the delay in thanking you. It’s been (wonderfully) busy!

Not only is Alicia extremely knowledgable about all things Franklin, she is personable, funny, and so patient with kids (a must with my crew)! She gave us peeks into Franklin's history through engaging stories that related to each stop we made. She also knows all the best dining and shopping spots. Any of her tours are a must if you make a trip to Franklin. Next on my list is the ghost tour!

Your crew is the BEST. It was an absolute pleasure hanging out with you and talking history. Who else would sing Christmas carols at Shuff’s with me in June??

Highly recommend the Franklin Charm tour and our amazing tour guide, Alicia! Alicia energetically wove fun facts and stories into the history of the town. We are not history buffs and we brought our 5 year old granddaughter. Alicia did a great job, bringing her in without dumbing down the tour and also didn’t “shoot” way over the heads of westerns who weren’t super familiar with southern history. The pacing was perfect and the history and the stories were a great mix, with something for everyone (music, art, war, prohibition, architecture, etc.). Do this before you go shopping, it will make the whole town more fun and interesting! (She even gave tips for lunch, dinner, and local music!) We will be sending all our visiting guests to Franklin Walking tours and we’ll be back for more ourselves!

Franklin Walking Tours is THE BEST walking tour in Franklin today! Alicia King Marshall will guide you through the very best of downtown Franklin. Her passion and knowledge of Franklin history is vast. She will share the backstories of Franklin’s most fascinating people. You will enjoy this incredibly fun 2-hour Franklin Charm walking tour. Perfect for couples and families or a great girlfriend getaway. I recommend it to vacationers and Franklin locals. You will learn so much you didn’t know about our beloved town. Meet at the historic Landmark Booksellers and your final stop will end with a sweet treat from one of Franklin’s best bakeries! Book your tour today!!🍪❤️

This was a phenomenal experience! Alicia made this a very fun, informative and interactive tour, My wife and son loved every minute and we didn't want it to end. Franklin is a very important city in our country's history and we learned a lot about all of its past and even some present day facts. We will be back again for another tour this fall. Thanks Alicia for a truly memorable evening!!!

We went on a very cold night at the end of November. Our tour was excellent. We had fun with our guide and learned about the city we live in along with our out-of-town family. Despite the cold, we enjoyed the 90-minute walk and the depth of researched information. I recommend it for a fun evening. Then, take in the downtown Franklin restaurants and bars.

Thanks for walking with us, and for not letting the cold ruin your good time! We appreciate you noticing the care we take to get the stories right. We believe true stories are not only the right way to go, but they’re even scarier than fiction! Hope to see you again soon. Maybe for a sunny day tour☀️

We lucked out getting a private tour of Franklin when the other large group rescheduled for later the same day. Alicia was very knowledgeable and treated us to a fantastic 2 hour tour of Franklin’s local history and charming shops. The weather was perfect and we finished with a nice treat at the Triple Crown Bakery.
Highly recommend!

Robert was an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the history of Franklin. He was engaging, funny and informative. He shared bullets he has found from the Battle of Franklin and had many engaging stories he shared. I would highly recommend!
