We absolutely loved the tour! Our tour operator was very knowledgeable about the history of Vicksburg and told stories in a fun way. I am a ghost-tour enthusiast and have done them in ~10 cities in the US and Vicksburg is a great location with beautiful old homes and a rich history as a key civil war site and antebellum trading city. I would highly encourage everyone to do this tour if they're visiting.

Morgan was an excellent host. We have done a number of ghost tours over the years, and this was one of the best. You can tell he has worked hard on his presentation as well as researching stories. Thanks, Morgan, for a great ghost walk.

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 had a great time on our walking ghost tour of old Vicksburg. It was 90 minutes long and we learned a lot of fun facts about the history of the city, and all included some spooky stories about the past residents as well. Morgan is a good storyteller and an excellent historian. There's quite a bit of walking, especially up and down hills, so bring your walking shoes!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It was ok. Not exactly what we had hoped for. With all of the traffic it was hard to hear our guide. It may have been better to start with the quieter streets while it was earlier in the night and the.n move to the busier ones when there would be less traffic. Amplification would have helped too.
