Enjoyed a recent tour of the vampire diaries. I would recommend making reservations in advance as they book up quick. They have you meet at the welcome center. Which was really cool to see the memorabilia from various shows that were filmed in the town. They have a tram type bus that fit four to a row. (Really tight seating and probably my least favorite of the tour was the seating.). The tour guides are very knowledgeable and had personal experience with watching the filming and/or being extra's. They stop at three different spots and even stop at one home where the owners came out to talk with us. Pretty neat! read more

Although I was tempted to feel ashamed of the fact that I was the second-oldest member of this tour group by far, considering that my counterparts were teen girls, the sheer excitement I felt outweighed any embarrassment. Mystic Falls Tours in Covington is a dream for Vampire Diaries fans, as you come across countless memorabilia from the long-running, cult following CW show, AND get to see the real homes and filming locations that the disturbingly-beautiful cast stepped foot on over the years. Stop by the Mystic Grill for a nice lunch and the gift shop directly beneath the clock tower after the tour for the ending to the perfect day. read more

We only checked out the museum. We didn't do the tour. But the museum had a lot of different show props. The only thing I wish that was different would be to have more variation than just Vampire Diaries and spin offs. I know Mystic Falls brings in a lot of profit. But to have Dukes of Hazard and In the Heat of the Night filmed here and barely hit on it,.. just seems wrong. read more

cancelled our tour the day of with no notice for "icy conditions" it's 42 degrees out and sunny by the way. refusing to give us a refund until tomorrow when we so happen will be out of town. very unprofessional don't book unless you want to risk wasting over 100$ literally told us to not try and call them to discuss this sudden change. read more

Big fan of Vampire Diaries!! Went on the tour today with my daughter, and our tour guide, Amber was quite good. Visited many of the characters homes and drove by others. Stopping at the park and visiting the on-site location was very beautiful. Got to meet the actual owners of the Lockwood mansion, very nice gentlemen.! The little tour buses /large golf carts was a good way to get around the little town and not be too obstructive to the residence, which I actually appreciated on their behalf. However, it was way too snug on the carts, and really should consider sitting three people per row instead of four. I understand that in order to get a bit extra room you can buy two seats, but that honestly is not fair. The price of the tickets are already high enough considering what you're getting from the tour. The shop at the end of the tour was pretty awful. We walked in and basically walked right out. The merchandise is substandard to say the least. ... I really do think the gift shop has great potential if they actually strove to acquire better made products. Believe me I wanted to buy something...... read more

We came down from Connecticut just for this tour, as a birthday trip for my 13 year old who is obsessed with vampire diaries. She loved every minute of it! The staff were kind and knowledgeable. You can tell that they are true fangirls. With that understanding they know just the juiciest details to tell and the best angles to promote for great pictures. Would definitely recommend! read more

This was such a fun tour! It was cool to see where everything was filmed. Our tour guides had so much inside details which made the tour even better. I would highly recommend taking a tour through them. The museum is pretty cool too. There are so many props from the show. Super cool experience! read more

This was a wonderful tour and a wonderful experience for my 13 year old birthday girls yesterday. Amber was a great tour guide and gave the group lots of interesting information. I'd like to thank Amber as well for making sure to recognize my twins on their birthday. She made it so memorable and special for them. I would, and have already, recommend this tour to any TVD, Originals, or Legacies fans! Thanks so much for following such an amazing experience. read more

Did the tour last week with friends and mystic falls is a beautiful town! Enjoyed getting to see the spots on the tour and hear the tour guides stories but I don't think this tour is worth $60. We saw several people doing their own tour and really the guide is sharing behind the scene details from their experiences but as far as seeings the spots you could do on your own. read more

WORST PLACE EVER. The owner does not care about her consumers and only about herself and money. I purchased a sweater for my daughter, who is a huge fan of TVD, and we realized once we got home that it was too small. My daughter did not even put the sweater on. Anyways, I called the store the following morning and Jessica, the owner, answered the phone. Jessica rudely alluded to a no return policy, did not let us speak, and hung up on us. Afterwords we decided to stop by personally and try to resolve the dispute amicably. Instead, Jessica pointed at a hidden no return sign and offered us a $20giftcard to buy ANOTHER $50 sweater instead of just swapping out the sweater no one wore. Clearly a ploy to make an extra buck off of us... I'm extremely disappointed in this shop and this woman. My daughter is a huge fan of the series and this ruined our trip. B read more

So glad I took the tour and picked up some behind the scenes information that the staff gives you from TVD! We had a really great time and thought the staff was so fun and so professional! Definitely recommend the tour! read more

Enjoyed the tours and the tour guides were awesome!!! Will definitely recommend to friends.

I am not a Vampire Diaires follower but came along with my friends. The entire experience was informative and anytime you get to "rub elbows" with Hollywood is well worth the tour. The guides were fun and had endless interesting stories and lots of behind the scenes information, artifacts and respect for the town, home owners, privacy of actors, crew, etc!! Definitely would recommend this experience! read more

This tour was a great experience. My girlfriend really likes the show, and she thought it was awesome to get to hear the backstories and see the film locations live. I've seen most of the show, and thought it was really cool as well. Make sure to grab a burger at the mystic grill after! As always, team Rebekah read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I drove 50 mins to come here and as my friend was paying for the tour, I went to the restroom and on my way back I overheard the owner and her employee were talking. I'm still so shocked and sad writing this, they said and I quote " there weren't any n***** vampires " and they laughed. I grabbed my friend and we left. It's sad that poc must still deal with this, my heart breaks knowing such nasty people still exist. read more

The owner is the rudest person I've ever met. My friends and Were very discriminated against. She kept looking at us very dirty and made racist remarks to other workers about the color of our skin. She gives off EXTREMELY racist vibes. DO NOT spend your money here. Get a brochure and do the tour yourself for cheaper! read more

Absolutely love TVD I found out about this tour and made a family trip down here. It didn't let me down at all. My daughter was 1 and she started getting fussy one the the ladies gave her a sucker then the man that owns the Lockwood Mansion gave her some pretzels. I definitely would go again for the extended tour. read more

This place doesn't even deserve a star, but yelp requires a rating. The staff are EXTREMELY rude. Rude is even an understatement. At the time of our purchase they did not give a receipt and we were not told items were final sale. Even with COVID, businesses are issuing refunds. The owner Jessica Lowery was a disgrace to all owners. She was screaming at me and my family that she cannot take the sweater back. She claims to have signs that indicate no returns or exchanges that were not there yesterday. The sign was under the payment terminal and the only other sign was hidden behind clothing. The situation could have been handled very differently and as an owner I was completely shocked with the disrespect. Her staff don't fall far from the tree. Don't bother spending a dime there. You can get the exact same stuff on Amazon for less with better customer service. Absolutely horrible!! read more

Covington square is haunted!!! But also so good to us all. This tour is fantastic and I met my future husband on it who isn't even a ghost. Thank you read more

This tour was absolutely fantastic. Was worried since we drove 7 hours from Kentucky that it wouldn't be worth it, so wrong! This tour was everything I could have hoped for. Tour guides were amazing along with the fun facts and scenery. Didn't even mind that it was 40 degrees outside because the tour guides kept it so interesting. If you're between driving the distance or going versus not-definitely go. Coolest thing ever to see real life buildings and houses that were on the show. Going back in the summer for The Originals tour!!! read more

The only reason she's getting one star is because she said she'd refund my money. We traveled from IL for the sole purpose of going on these tours. It was a birthday gift for my sister. Georgia had unseasonably cold weather & a sprinkling of snow. She canceled both our tours, even though temps were in the 40s & 50s & the roads were completely dry & clear. She tried to get us to come do them after we'd have left or take store credit. But she didn't open the store! Every business on the square was open but her! We were told by another business that she cancels tours & canceled on a couple who came from Austria. Unbelievable. Do not waste your money on this place. Go to tShe should sell the business to someone who actually wants to work. Jessica, you are a liar. I did not receive any communication from you prior regarding the weather. The only communication I received was when you canceled. I was never at your store as you did not open & I never spoke with your employee. My god, the lies are just pouring from your mouth! Unbelievable! You offered to do the tour AFTER we were scheduled to leave! Unless you were willing to pay for us to stay an extra night, how is that possible? Use some sense for crying out loud! We live far away & have families. We cannot change our plans on a whim because of your irresponsibility! People, beware of this company. She is is lying in her response! I also had to file a complaint with PayPal to get my money refunded. An ethical business owner would have refunded the money immediately! read more

My friends and I drove all the way from Florida to Covington. Before the tour, we scouted some of the houses. During the tour all we did was pay the tour guide to take us back to the same places. No exclusive photos except for the Lockwood Mansion. Was very disappointed. Tour was definitely not worth the $55 read more

This was fantastic! The guides are so nice and accommodating.... I booked TVD, Extended TVD & Originals. I would def recommend. read more

We are in Atlanta for a wedding ( we are a wedding photographers ) and we had a few extra days so me and my husband wanted something to do. As a huge fan of the show, I thought it would be fun to do. Even though we live in L.A and have both been on multiple movie sets and sound stages and worked at Universal Studios.. it is different seeing on location sets and possible filming, plus hearing historical info about the homes and seeing some amazing photographic areas we will be sure to come back to in the future. Jessica wasn't on the tour that day, but we had Angie and she was great. Our group was only 6 people ( thankfully) so it was intimate and small and everyone listened and followed instructions. We learned lots of interesting tidbits and got to tour some of the most prominent locations on the show in Mystic Falls. It was great to see all the angles and how they use different perspectives to get the shots. As photographers that interested us a great deal. After the tour of Mystic Falls and the houses like Lockwood Mansions ( which pretty epic) we stayed and walked around some more and even ate at the Mystic Grill.. which wasn't a replica per say, but it was cool and the food was great! After that we headed to see the Originals location and lo and behold they were set dressing for filming the next day. We walked around and got some photos of the area, and came back the next day and was able to watch Phoebe Tonkin filming and then Joseph Morgan. It was pretty awesome! I highly recommend the tour if your a fan, my husband knows the show but isn't an avid watcher and he even enjoyed the tour. read more

We took the vampire stalker tour with Jessica and Angie. Both are extremely knowledgable about the tv show and its filming territory, actors, and interesting details. The highlights of the tour were the famous cemetery and through tour of the exterior of Lockwood Mansion. The fan store was on the tour to show the autograph wall, we were not encouraged to buy souvenirs like others stated. It was a well run business and you can tell they've been doing it a long time and know the protocol. They are very respectful to the local businesses as we tour through. It's such a pleasant town and the people were all so nice. I enjoy going through the episodes now and recognizing the places on screen now that we just toured. It was worth the $55 because it's so well run. Safety first and we were pleased to meet with the owners of "Lockwood" as well. read more

Just got back from watching the premier of season 8, it was wonderful! I had so much fun watching the show on the big screen. Was a little upset that we had to change locations due to the high wind, which I do understand. But I got there at 12pm today, to get great seats to watch the premier. My boyfriend & I went into the bar to get a drink & came out & everyone was gone! But like I said I completely understand, things happen. Cannot wait to come back to watch the final season finale & hopefully see my Damon too read more

I am a big Vampire Diaries fan and I was so excited for this tour and it did not disappoint! Jessica was awesome and she knew so much about behind the scenes and history of the town. She offered to help take pictures of everybody in front of wherever you wanted. I would definitely suggest this tour! It's well worth it and super cool to see where everything was filmed. I loved seeing the square and the Lockwood mansion..the property was so beautiful! Thank you Jessica for a fun time!! read more

This is the #1 tour for all things related to The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. This tour comes packed with behind the scenes knowledge known by Jessica and her staff!! If you are thinking about taking this tour then do it!!!!! Take lots of pictures and enjoy!! 100% Recommended!! read more

RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!! I came all the way from Miami to come to this tour. I've been a huge fan of the vampire diaries since the show first came out so you can imagine my excitement coming to this tour. I came to the gift shop and bought a $50 sweater and since I couldn't try it on at the store I tried it on at home and realized it didn't fit me. I drove 2 hours to return it and exchange it for a bigger size and the owner Jessica was extremely unprofessional I was in complete disbelief. She claimed she had signs at the front and when she showed us where the sign was she literally had to move stuff out of the way to find it. She didn't even give us a receipt the day she charged me for the $50 sweater. Jessica was the owner and she was extremely unprofessional , she ruined my entire experience. All these people care about is money money and money. I'm so disappointed, I highly recommend going to another store. Don't spend your money here. BUYER BEWARE!! Jessica should be ashamed of herself for treating her customers like this. If I could give it zero stars I would! read more

The people who run this tour are some of the rudest people I have ever met. My friend and I flew from Nj for this tour and it got cancelled bc of the rain which when they decided to cancel it had stopped raining. We explained to them that we came a long way for this and they did not care at all and were not willing to help us or provide us with any information so we could show ourselves anything. They gave us so much attitude for absolutely no reason. When we tried to get a refund they told us they would give us a credit to do a tour again and that wouldn't be a problem if they had more tours before our flight left but they didn't so we explained that to them and she said we could fly back another time which wasn't an option for us, she then proceeded to tell us if we can't change our current flight or get a new just to give her a call then she would give us a refund once we were back in nj, we told her no and got cash back. After that we looked around the store and we heard her tell someone else they only gave cash refund so how were they going to give us a refund once we got back to nj? Thankfully we found a better and cheaper tour the same day! If you are looking for a tour I recommend checking out some other tours not with this company! read more

owner was very racist towards me and my family the autographs looked undeniably fake, the whole place seems overcharged for no reason and the owner isnt that great either. wouldn't recommend coming here read more

My mother and I took a trip out of state to the Atlanta area for her birthday/girl's weekend. She is a fan of TVD so I surprised her by booking a tour with the Vampire Stalkers. Not having seen the show myself I was a little worried that I might get bored during the tour - but that was not the case. Jessica and Angie were extremely informative and fun. It was somewhat cold but they stayed energetic and did a great job of keeping up with the group. They were very specific about which scenes/parts of the show were associated with the sites we saw. They gave plenty of recommendations for places to eat after the tour which was much appreciated being in an unknown area. You can tell the girls enjoy what they do and they love the fans of that come to visit as much as they do the show! Definitely recommend. read more

My husband had to go to Atlanta on business. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, I was online reading about this tour. Don't be fooled as there are other tours of the area being offered, but the "Vampire Stalker" tour with Jessica is the one you want to get exclusive access and all your questions answered. Absolute respect and courtesy were given to the homeowners by Jessica and her team. She made sure everyone had their "moment" and made everyone feel comfortable and accommodated - not to mention she's a HUGE fan and knows her episodes. Class act all the way! read more

Very great TVD tour. Jessica knows so much about the show and threw in fun little facts everywhere. You can tell she really loves what she does and it shows!! Best tour in town, and I highly recommend them. Will be back soon for the Originals tour :) read more

Horrible customer service". I purchased a ticket and then broke my arm the week of the tour. The only solution I was given was taking the tour at a later time. So, instead of being to go with my family I would have had to drive over 100 miles by myself and do the tour. I would have accepted a reasonable replacement, maybe merch, but was only offered another tour. read more

If you are debating on whether to see where your favorite show is filmed, definitely book this tour! Jessica was amazing! Not only do you get exclusive tour stops but just the knowledge she tells you is worth the price of the tour. From learning how the network makes a small town in Georgia into the thriving city of New Orleans to making sure you know exactly what scene was filmed where. A must do for all Vampire Diaries and Originals fans! I will definitely be making another trip to experience it again! read more

I've visited this picturesque little town twice now to take tours with the "Vampire Stalkers". The first time was about 2 years ago and Jessica gave us the Vampire Diaries tour. We didn't meet any actors, though we did meet a guest producer/director (Jeffery Hunt) he was doing some location scouting. At that time Jessica was very talkative and so informative plus all the stuff we saw on the trip was just so cool and exciting. When I booked the trip to come back this year I booked both the Vampire Diaries tour and the Originals tour. The tours have obviously been a huge hit and very profitable as the whole process seems more professional than before BUT if I hadn't met Jessica previously I'd be seriously confused as to why anyone has anything nice to say about her. She didn't give the tour but was at her new store (which the tour conveniently stops at) trying to sell her overpriced souvenirs. While in this shop she didn't greet anyone except her friend who was actually giving the tour and then YELLED at everyone on the tour to hurry up and bring any purchases up quickly so that we could move on. The person who gave both tours was a woman named Angie and she was wonderful. I actually loved the tours themselves and found out lots of cool things about the filming of both shows and great insider details. The only reason this review got 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the Jessica's crappy attitude. It seems she's gotten "too big for her britches" as we say in the south. read more

This tour is ALL TALK. Literally! Angie doesn't stop talking. $55 a person to sit on the courthouse steps and listen to Angie talk, for an hour! What exactly does the cost cover? Two adults, 3 children and we paid $55 a person to listen to her go on and on with very uninteresting facts. Then, we drove to a cemetery where she said to leave the cars running, which everyone did and she went on for 15 minutes while everyone exited their running cars. Also, Angie begged the group to leave their TV's on if you DVR the show because ratings only register if running live on TV. What!!?!?! Way to screw the earth for the sake of ratings! Of course they want the ratings because if the show goes off the air, this scam ceases. The sights are available to anyone, on their own, without the guided tour. All publicly available. We weren't allowed in the houses, courthouse, restaurant or any of the sites on the tour. To end the horrible experience, Angie threatened to double charge our credit cards if we didn't give a 5 start rating. Seriously, a colossal waste of time AND MONEY! read more

I drove from PA to take the VD tour.It was fun going to different locations that filming took place. We didn't really go too far which was a little disaapointing. I think the price is a little high when we are driving our own cars. Angie and Jessica were great. They gave us plenty of time for pictures and even helped with them. No pressure to buy anything in the store which was nice. It was great to learn about town and hear inside stories that you wouldn't know otherwise. I fell in love with Covington and hope to move there soon!! I will also come back again for the season finale in the square and do the originals tour. read more
