Vicksburg local and wanted to take this tour for a while. Happy to see there was a good group as I would have felt bad had there just been me and my sister-in-law. You MUST reserve your spot before hand or else they don't know to expect you. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened to the other reviewer. Mr. Gates is very knowledgeable but has a dry sense of humor so be prepared for that. I have the same so it didn't bother me. The site says 90min but it's more like 75min BUT we weren't a large group to wait on so that probably makes a difference. Please be realistic in that you may not see, experience, or capture something. Vicksburg is haunted no doubt but it's not the guide's fault if a spirit doesn't appear on command. Just take pictures of everything and you may get something. My belief is the least you expect it the more you will get and that happened to me tonight. I caught two images that I can't explain especially the last one with the "cat". There was no cat present at the time and if you zoom in you can see it's transparent like a shadow and there's no facial features.

We found this online so 4 of us decided to go. The site said to text, which we did. No reply. We messaged, no reply. So we drove to the meeting spot. No one showed up even though their site states Friday's and Saturday's through October.
We figured they were done for the season.

The location was easy to find. We were surprised it was just us and Morgan. Thought that was nice of him to still offer the tour for just two people. He is very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. He is soft spoken, in our opinion, so we are glad it ended up being a private tour. Not sure we would have been able to hear in a crowd. The weather was great, and the gas lantern streetlights were so lovely to see. Morgan has a book you can purchase, and we had him sign our copy. Highly recommend this tour while in the area.

Morgan is thoroughly versed in both the history of and haunted history of Vicksburg. It's a leisurely walk around the old courthouse and to several other locations where Morgan shares excellent information.

This is a good way to tour the neighborhoods of Vicksburg. Morgan gave us some history, along with some ghost stories connected to some of the houses and attractions. He tells the stories in a way to keep you intrigued. Highly recommend.

We ended up with a private tour, being June and a weeknight we found most the downtown area to be pretty quiet. Easy to find him at the circular grass area by the Courthouse and we began the 1 mile route. Morgan is a true wealth of historical knowledge of Vicksburg. He has a wealth of “ghost” knowledge of the cities inhabitants and ability to story tell it into the area you walk. There were some tales that didn’t go with the home you may be standing on, but its a walking tour. While the city isn’t large I was okay with not walking to the river or out to the battlefield to hear a few tales.
We were glad to have a beautiful breeze as we walked as the bugs were at bay, please remember bug spray. Some water may be nice but we were fine as it was a lovely cool night. We picked up his book as well and he gave me some ideas on diaries to look for. It is amazing how many of the diaries of people from the 1860s have been found and add a wealth of personal input to the lives and times of Vicksburg.

The wife and I took this tour while vacationing in Vicksburg. We were the only ones who were on it during a weeknight.
Our guide was punctual and polite. He was certainly knowledgeable but a bit boring. (Full disclosure, I encountered more than a few spirits before taking the tour)
It seemed like there was little correlation between the stories and the tour itself. It could just as well been done sitting on a bench.
Overall, I would not repeat this tour even when (especially when) completely sober.
