A Redneck Comedian Tells Nashville Ghost Stories From the Bus
A two-hour evening bus ride where the guide is a comedian, the stories are Nashville ghost tales, and every scare gets a punchline.
This is the after-dark edition of the Redneck Comedy Bus, which by the company's own account first rolled through Nashville in the spring of 2009 and still runs daytime comedy bus tours of the city. The listing puts a comedian tour guide and a separate bus driver aboard each bus, and its inclusions end with a promise that you will get Redneck Certified, which the operator's About page sells with the line that everybody could use a good laugh. The operator is upfront about the ghosts. It says it cannot promise you will see one, only that if one shows up, your guide will probably make fun of it.
Tickets are sold through Viator as a mobile or paper ticket, one per booking. The listing also notes that the operator can cancel a departure for bad weather or for too few riders.

The operator promises local ghost stories, strange legends, spooky history and tales from some of the area's most haunted places, and its booking page adds legendary feuds and shadowy gravesites. It does not name a single site or story. Its explanation is that every ride is a little different because every audience is a little different. Expect the scares to be the setup and the jokes to be the point: in the operator's words, every scary story comes with hillbilly commentary, audience interaction, and enough foolishness to wake the dead. One rider in September 2026 called it funny and fascinating.
Nashville After Dark, No Published Route
Neither the listing nor the operator publishes a route. The listing's only itinerary entry is pinned to Music Row and promises Nashville's iconic landmarks, and the operator calls it sightseeing after dark. The listing sells two hours, and the operator's ghost-tour page says about two hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. Its company-wide FAQ mentions a halftime break off the bus, but the ghost-tour page does not say whether this ride stops, and its advice to arrive early includes time to use the restroom. The same FAQ says the bus has heat as well as air conditioning, which matters on a November night.
Rated PG-14, With No Seat Belts
The operator's company-wide FAQ rates its tours PG-14, and the listing's own description calls this ride ideal for groups, ages 14 and up. The ghost-tour page puts it more loosely: spooky subject matter and occasional grown-up humor, with parents left to use their best judgment. The booking form still sells child tickets for ages 1 to 12 and asks infants to ride on a lap, so the ticket types say nothing about the jokes. There are no seat belts on the bus, so car seats are not allowed. On wheelchairs, the ghost-tour page says flatly that the bus is not wheelchair accessible, while the company-wide FAQ is softer: "Not exactly," with the crew offering to stow the chair and help riders on and off. The listing also ticks suitable for all physical fitness levels; the operator's pages are the more specific answer.
Fridays and Saturdays, Fall Only
As of October 20, 2026, the booking calendar sells one departure, 6:45 PM, on Fridays and Saturdays only: October 23, 24, 30 and 31, then November 13, 14, 20 and 21. November 6 and 7 are not running, and after November 21 the calendar shows nothing until October 2027. Halloween night itself falls on a Saturday this year and is on the list. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund on this booking. The operator's own website works on 72 hours' notice, which applies only to tickets bought there.
📍 The bus boards in the parking lot across the street from Ole Smoky Distillery's main entrance, 423 6th Ave S, and pulls in 15 minutes before the 6:45 PM start; the operator's ghost-tour page asks riders to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to park, check in and use the restroom. Do not just search the company's name online: the operator says that sends people to a post office. The listing and the ghost-tour page both advertise free parking, but the distillery's own Nashville FAQ says it does not offer free parking: there are three paid lots within walking distance, two of them directly across the street, and very little street parking. After that, it is two hours of ghost stories nobody expects you to take seriously.
