Mystic Falls Virginia – Touring The Real Town Behind The Vampire Diaries

If you happen to be a fan of the CW hit show “The Vampire Diaries”, you may find yourself asking a few questions when it comes to the town of Mystic Falls Virginia. Like first of all, is Mystic Falls real?

If so, where is Mystic Falls? And more importantly, can you eat at the famous Mystic Grill in real life?

These are just a few of the questions I’ve had over the many years of binge watching TVD and, through a pretty coincidental stroke of luck, I was able to get the full lowdown on the famous Mystic Falls Virginia during a quick trip to Atlanta, GA.

Keep on reading to learn more about how you can visit Mystic Falls VA and see all the iconic Vampire Diaries shooting locations for yourself (and yes, you really can eat at the Mystic Grill!).

Table of Contents

Where was Vampire Diaries filmed?

Though the pilot episode of “The Vampire Diaries” was filmed in Vancouver, the remainder of the eight series show  was filmed in Covington, GA.

Covington has been a popular filming destination for years and has even been unofficially declared the “Hollywood of the South”.

The small town is located nearby Atlanta, making it an ideal day trip destination for anyone visiting the city.

Is Mystic Falls Virginia a real place?

Mystic Falls Virginia is NOT a real place!

You can still grab a great photo with the real welcome sign from the show though at the Covington Visitor Information Center .

In order to visit “Mystic Falls Virginia” in real life, you’ll have to go to Covington, GA.

Covington GA to Atlanta GA

It’s incredibly easy to get to get from Covington GA to Atlanta GA. In fact, it’s only about a 40 minute drive.

A trip to Covington is definitely worth it if you’re visiting Atlanta, and vice versa.

There are so many amazing things to do and see!

Things to Do in Covington GA

Vampire diaries tour.

Hands down the best way to explore Covington, GA is through an official Mystic Falls Tour .

We went through the company Vampire Stalkers , which is the TVD cast’s #1 recommended tour.

Jessica, the owner of the company, is incredibly knowledgable on the show and the area, and she personally knows many of the cast members.

She has tons of great stories, and she really knows what she’s talking about when it comes to “The Vampire Diaries”, the spinoff “The Originals”, and now even “Legacies”, the third TVD spinoff!

Though you might be tempted to scout the locations from the show on your own, I’d definitely recommend taking the tour, because you’ll get access to lots of filming locations you wouldn’t otherwise (like the Lockwood Mansion, which is a completely gated property).

You’ll also learn a lot more about how the show was actually filmed and even get to hear funny stories about the cast, which I think is well worth the money.

The Mystic Grill

One of my favorite things to do in Covington GA was of course visiting the Mystic Grill .

Though the inside scenes at the Mystic Grill were filmed at the sound stages, the outside scenes were filmed right here at the Mystic Grill Covington.

It was really cool to sit outside here like the TVD cast did many times and look out at Covington Square or the clock tower…it really feels like you’re in Mystic Falls!

Another great thing about the Mystic Grill is that you can actually eat here.

The southern style food is delish, and they even have rooftop seating available that overlooks the town square.

I’m already planning on coming back here the next time I’m in Atlanta — it was just that good!

Related: Meeting the Cast of “The Vampire Diaries”

Covington Square & The Clock Tower

Another really cool spot is Covington Square.

It’s obviously pictured a lot throughout the series, and you can view both the Mystic Grill and the clock tower from here.

There’s also a number of cute shops to explore and some other tasty restaurants.

We really enjoyed visiting Scoops Ice Cream, which is rumored to have been one of Ian Somerholder’s favorite spots when The Vampire Diaries was filming here!

The Gilbert House

Getting to see the Gilbert house in person was awesome.

Though it’s just a normal residence to anyone who hasn’t watched the show, every true TVD fan knows that some pretty iconic scenes took place on this porch!

Scenes inside the house were filmed at the sound stages though, since it wouldn’t really be practical to take over someone’s home every time they needed to film.

FYI: If you want to visit the Gilbert house or any other of the homes used for filming during the show, make sure you’re on an official tour.

These poor homeowners have had some unfortunate run-ins with fans who have been less than respectful to their properties.

Remember that these are private residences, and Jessica, the owner of the Vampire Stalkers tour company is actually in regular contact with the homeowners to ensure that it’s okay for people to stop by each time she’s doing a tour.

Imagine if you had random fans showing up at YOUR doorstep without any warning.

The Forbes’ Residence

Another cool stop on our Vampire Diaries tour? Caroline Forbes’ house!

Again, inside shots were filmed at the sound stages, but they really did use the porch for any outside scenes here.

The Lockwood Mansion

Okay, here is another instance where you absolutely need to be on an official Vampire Diaries tour to get the full Mystic Falls experience!

On our Vampire Diaries tour, we were able to go behind the gates of the Lockwood Mansion and see the place where so many of the epic parties were really staged throughout this series.

We even got to meet the owners of the home, who were both incredibly kind and willing to answer any questions we had.

So many important moments were filmed in this backyard, and they actually did use the inside of the home for some party scenes as well.

It was an amazing treat to get to check out this place in person.

Mystic Falls Cemetery

In addition to many of the main shooting locations already mentioned, it wouldn’t be a true Vampire Diaries tour without a trip to the Mystic Falls Cemetery.

Though Mystic Falls Cemetery isn’t featured as often as some of the above shooting locations, it’s surely one of the most iconic considering this is the very place where Elena meets Stefan Salvatore for the first time in the Vampire Diaries pilot.

While it may feel a bit cheesy, don’t pass up on recreating the famous Damon and Elena photograph from the finale while you’re there either!

Vampire Diaries Merchandise & Gift Shops

In addition to the many filming sites you can visit in person, there are also a few gift shops in town that sell some awesome Vampire Diaries merchandise.

One of the biggest gift shops with the widest range of Vampire Diaries merchandise is run by the Vampire Stalkers tour group and is located near the Town Square.

There’s also a great shop located off of the alley near the Mystic Grill that I actually bought a Mystic Grill t-shirt from while we were there.

Another option is of course to purchase your own Vampire Diaries merch before your visit so you can rock it around town during your visit.

These are just a few of the highlights of Mystic Falls (the tour was about three hours long, so there’s actually a lot I didn’t even mention in this post!).

There really are a lot of things to do in Covington GA, and I’m excited to go back the next time I’m in Atlanta.

Vampire Stalkers also has an “Originals” tour now too, which takes you around to some of the most popular The Originals filming locations.

I’m hoping to attend that next and see where some more of my favorite scenes were filmed!

43 Vampire Diaries Locations to See in The Real Mystic Falls

If you’ve followed me for some time, you already know I’m a die-hard fan of The Vampire Diaries franchise—a popular vampire TV series filmed in Covington, GA, commonly known as The Real Mystic Falls .

This picturesque small town in Georgia is home to some of the show’s most epic filming locations .

Writing about this makes me relive the excitement from my first visit to Mystic Falls in 2020, and when I also visited filming locations from The Originals —the popular spin-off series from The Vampire Diaries .

If you’re wondering if Mystic Falls is in Virginia or Georgia , let’s just say that in our hearts, it could be both! ( wink, wink ).

But in reality, Mystic Falls is located in Covington, Georgia and it’s the most epic place to be if you’re a fan of TVDU (The Vampire Diaries Universe) .

From Elena Gilbert’s house with the iconic porch to the Lockwood Mansion , Caroline’s house , the iconic Clock Tower and the Mystic Grill ; it’s all here!

Additionally, you can also see where the decade dances were filmed, where the Delena kiss scene took place and even the Frat Murder House and Wickery Bridge .

Nonetheless, I want you to know that even if you’re not a fan of this popular vampire series, Covington, Georgia has many promising experiences and many things to do that make it a bucket-list destination for everyone.

Can You Find Things to Do in Mystic Falls Without a Tour?

Absolutely! You don’t need to be part of a tour to see and explore the many filming locations from The Vampire Diaries. You’ll be able to get the full “ Hollywood of the South ” experience with a self-guided tour, at your own pace.

There are many great shops around Covington Square where you can shop for TVD merch and fun things like blood bags , vervain vials and all the epic jewelry like Elena’s daylight ring and vervain locket necklace.

For places to eat in The Real Mystic Falls, definitely try the coffee at Bread & Butter and the Fried Green Tomatoes at the Mystic Grill .

There are also many incredible TVD-inspired places to stay in Mystic Falls like Caroline’s House, the Carriage House at the Lockwood Mansion and Elena and Damon’s Little Pine Cottage .

🩸 What is TVD? It refers to the series The Vampire Diaries that originally aired on the CW Network from 2009 to 2017. The show concluded with 8 seasons and two spin-off shows— The Originals and Legacies , forming The Vampire Diaries Universe which is still followed by millions of fans worldwide.

Don’t Miss These Locations When You Visit Mystic Falls

If you’re ready to start planning a trip to Mystic Falls , you’ve come to the right place!

As an avid fan of The Vampire Diaries, I’m also a frequent visitor to Covington, GA.

Throughout the years I’ve had the opportunity to visit many exciting Vampire Diaries filming locations in Covington, Georgia.

Now, I’m here to share with you the locations and best things to do in Mystic Falls for the most unforgettable experience.

But First… Stop by the Covington Welcome Center

This should be your first stop and it’s also one of the things that you don’t want to miss, especially if you want a picture with the Mystic Falls Welcome Sign .

You will find the original wooden sign inside the Welcome Center, another placed on the exterior of the building and a painted mural Mystic Falls Welcome Sign at The Alley in Mystic Grill.

The Covington Welcome Center has the biggest collection of items and props used during the filming of all of the TVDU series.

Some of the iconic things to see are Damon’s car , Alaric’s Vampire Hunting Kit , Elena Gilbert’s Coffin and the Salvatore Mansion Cellar Door .

You’ll also be able to see exhibitions from other popular films and shows that have been filmed in Covington, Georgia.

Adjacent to the Welcome Center is The Film Garden —an art project that highlights the film history of this beautiful Georgia town and it’s definitely a must-see!

📍 Covington Welcome Center : 1143 Oak St SE, Covington, GA

1. The Iconic Clock Tower

Even if you haven’t watched the show, you’ll be in awe of the beauty of the town’s historic Clock Tower built in 1884!

An iconic location for fans of The Vampire Diaries but also one of the best places for photos in the town square.

I suggest you take a walk around and take pictures of it from many different angles because you just can’t enough of its beauty!

📍 Covington Clock Tower (Newton County Courthouse) : 1124 Clark St SW, Covington, GA

2. The Lockwood Mansion

If you’re interested in going to the Lockwood Mansion, you should know that booking a tour with Vampire Stalkers (Mystic Falls Tours) is the only way to get inside the property grounds, past the gate.

However, photos outside the gate of The Lockwood Mansion (Worthington Manor) are allowed.

📍 Lockwood Mansion : 2129 East St, Covington, GA

3. The Town Square

The town square, wooden benches and all, is largely seen throughout some of the most popular scenes of both The Vampire Diaries and Legacies .

Covington, Georgia is a very charming town with a lot of filming history and every inch of the square makes for great photo ops and fun self-guided walking tours.

It’s also referred to as the Hollywood of the South and it even has its very own Walk of Stars to prove it!

Most recently, Covington became the home of Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias series.

4. The Mystic Grill in the Iconic “ Mystic Falls Georgia “

For TVD fans the Mystic Grill needs no introduction. But for the sake of others visiting Covington, this is one of the best places to eat in the town square and the food is delicious!

Keep in mind that with this being a very popular filming location, long wait times can be expected, especially if you visit in the high season.

Mystic Grill also offers souvenir glasses with the most famous quote: “ It’s okay to love them both…I did ” and occasionally serves Damon’s Prison World Pancakes .

Be sure to get them when you dine in and visit The Alley Shop downstairs for the greatest Vampire Diaries merch, a small museum with set props and clothing items worn by the cast.

In my opinion, it’s the best Vampire Diaries-related gift shop around town!

📍 Mystic Grill : 1116 Clark St, SW, Covington, GA

5. Flashback Lockwood Mansion

Fans of The Vampire Diaries will also recall this, as it was in parts of the 1864 flashbacks .

But this beauty was also the inspiration behind the plantation featured in Gone with the Wind .

Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast is a must-see when you’re in Covington, Georgia.

📍 1864 Lockwood Mansion : 2176 Monticello St, SW, Covington, GA

6. Grayson Gilbert’s Office Sign

This sign is located in the town square right across Scoops and right next to it is the sign for Elena Salvatore, M.D.

📍 Grayson Gilbert, M.D. sign (Wildart LLC) : 1105 Washington St SW, Covington, GA

🍨 Don’t forget to grab Ian Somerhalder’s favorite at Scoops —the Banana Pudding Milkshake.

7. Whitmore Frat House Party (the Murder House)

The Frat House Party event takes place in the fourth episode of Season 4 or as many may recall it…when Elena and Damon get ‘ high on blood ‘!

📍 Frat Murder House : 1008 N Emory Street, Oxford, GA

8. Get a Taste of New Orleans in Olde Town Conyers, Filming Location from The Originals

The ornate ironwork–which is so iconic of the city of New Orleans , can be found all around Olde Town Conyers. Hence the reason why Conyers was one of the main filming locations for The Originals series for most of the filming of its five seasons.

What I loved the most about this quaint little town was the sense of magically stepping foot in New Orleans !

There’s also a train station, shops, and restaurants around the town.

While here, you’ll be able to see the street where the death of Jane Anne Deveroux took place , in the first episode of The Originals.

Additionally, you’ll find places like Simply Naked Candles which was the actual filming location for the Jardin Gris Voodoo Shop located at 906 Center Street, Conyers, GA.

📍 Olde Town Conyers : 901 Railroad St, Conyers, GA

9. View the Rooftop Shown in Season 1, Episode 2 of The Vampire Diaries

For those hardcore fans like me, you’ll remember this iconic rooftop featured in the first season of The Vampire Diaries.

An unforgettable scene was filmed on the rooftop of the Butter Bakery & Coffee Shop.

In the scene, Damon said the iconic phrase “ That’s for me to know and for you to dot dot dot “.

Who remembers this scene? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Go For a Drive to Visit These Iconic Filming Locations

The following filming locations require driving time, with the closest one being 15 minutes from the town square.

10. Salvatore Boarding School 

This gorgeous mansion was seen in The Vampire Diaries but was mainly featured throughout Legacies as the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted and is very much worth the visit!

📍 Boarding School : 5520 Kent Rock Rd, Loganville, GA

11. Bell’s Grocery Store from the Prison World

In 1994 Prison World , Bell’s was the iconic grocery store we all remember, primarily because this is when Kai’s character was introduced for the very first time.

📍 Bell’s Grocery Store : 11377 Brown Ridge Rd, Covington, GA

12. 1864 Salvatore Mansion

This one surely needs no introduction, but I’ll do it anyway!

Built in 1890, this stunning mansion is just as perfect in person as it is in the show.

The Salvatore Mansion is home to the 1864 flashback scenes of Katherine, Stefan and Damon .

Being here brought back nostalgia and memories of the time when we all fell in love with the Salvatore Brothers .

📍 Salvatore Mansion : 617 Dixie Ave, Madison, GA

More Filming Locations of The Vampire Diaries

Wondering where the rest of The Vampire Diaries filming locations are? I have you covered in the list included in this last section!

Some of the most asked questions from my readers are “ Where is the gym in Covington? ” referring to where the 20s dance of The Vampire Diaries took place, and “ Where did the Delena rain kiss take place ? “.

Well, the gym is conveniently located at the heart of the town and it can be found on the main route leading towards Academy Springs Park , which is where the Delena kiss took place.

Here are more Vampire Diaries filming locations to see in Mystic Falls:

For those hoping to see the gorgeous estate featured on The Vampire Diaries as the home of the Salvatore Brothers , you should know that this property no longer exists.

Glenridge Hall , the real-life name of the Sandy Springs mansion listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was sold and demolished in 2015.

However, you can get the next best thing right in the town square!

With its grand opening in June 2024, Mystic Mercantile offers the most unique experience in Mystic Falls—the iconic Salvatore House living room .

Most of the items that take part in bringing this space to life are actual props used in the filming of The Vampire Diaries.

From the entrance brick and lamps to the picture frames and living room couch to the bourbon glasses and decanters, and even some of the books!

If you plan to be in Covington for a few days, definitely check out Mystic Mercantile!

A Self-Guided Walking Tour Through Mystic Falls:

Need a guide for your next visit to Covington, aka Mystic Falls aka, every Vampire Diaries superfan dream destination?

Don’t worry, I got YOU!

This is your new and approved, all-encompassing walking tour guide through the town of Mystic Falls . Spoiler alert: It is completely free!

- Map included at the end! -

[Also included: Accommodation nearby and the best bites Mystic Falls have to offer.]

Here we have seen Vampires, Witches, Werewolves, and even Hybrids, battle it out, fall in love, seen the devil, himself, and literally everything in between. You fell in love with them on screen, now you can visit the locations where your favorite scenes were filmed.

Kicking off this tour with a bang is our first stop:

1 The Covington Visitor’s center.

Right at the entrance is the ‘Welcome to Mystic Falls' sign. Inside, a museum filled with iconic show pieces. From tombstones, grimoires, outfits worn by cast members, and even the filming chairs of Elena, Stefan, and Damon.

Walking through is truly like walking through an episode of TVD!

Next up, a cultural landmark:

  2  Elena's House

Yes folks, the porch swing! Aren’t we all so glad that Elena did not actually burn down this showstopper? I sure am. Welcome to Elena Gilbert’s house, where she lived with her mom and dad (Miranda and Grayson), until they sadly passed away in a drowning accident. In the early seasons we spend a lot of time here watching her, Aunt Jenna and her little brother, Jeremy.

  3 Caroline's House

Right across the street we come to the front door of Sheriff Forbes' house,  who keeps all of Mystic Falls safe, even with all the fangs up and about. Throughout the show, we see Caroline Forbes turn from a ‘neurotic control freak’, to everyone’s favorite blonde Vampire Barbie. We even watch her say goodbye to her mom and we see her dabble on the dark side of the humanity switch for a bit.

  4   Lockwood Mansion

Who would have guessed that the Lockwood Mansion could be just around the corner? If it wasn’t for the big gate, maybe we could just waltz in and ask Tyler for a tour…

  5  Isobel's House

Can Mr. Damon Salvatore himself please teach all of us his ways when it comes to house hunting? Because man, Isobel’s house is breathtaking. Not far from her biological daughter’s house stands the ‘largest bank-owned foreclosed house’ in Mystic Falls.

  6  Sheila Bennett's House (aka Grams)

Oh, how we all miss Grams. Bonnie Bennett’s Gram’s house is a must see.

  7  Mystic Falls Cemetery

Our next stop, the Southview Cemetery, or as we all know it, T he Mystic Falls Cemetery.

[Disclaimer: This is a real cemetery, please be respectful of other’s lost loved ones. It is not necessary to pursue finding the Gilbert family grave, that can be found at the Visitor Center.]  

However, look out over the cemetery and you can just envision Elena sitting up against the headstone of her late parents, writing in her diary. Suddenly, the fog sets in, and the crow appears…

  8  The Clock Tower.

Fun fact: Banana Pudding is Ian Somerhalder's favorite flavor at Scoop’s Ice Cream.

  9  Town Square

Take a stroll through the Town Square , where all our favorite cast members have spent time.

 10  The Mystic Grill

Right across from town square, is easily one of the most iconic locations from filming… You guessed right, it is The Mystic Grill.

How about a bite?

Fun fact: The Grill used to be a lawyers’ office but was turned into a restaurant after filming wrapped because of how much fans loved the location.

 11 The Alley Shop

The alley behind the Grill practically became just as famous as the restaurant itself throughout the eight seasons of TVD. Well, great news folks, The Alley Shop is now right beside the grill. There you can find all your TVD souvenirs and even one last chance to grab a photo with the Mystic Falls sign. Don’t forget to stock up on blood bags!

Fun Fact: Ian and Paul started their own Bourbon company called Brother’s Bourbon. Available for purchase at the Alley Shop.

Did you spot the scattered stones for the cast of TVD throughout the town square? How about the sign for Dr. Grayson Gilbert’s office?

Even better, how about the sign for Elena Salvatore, MD?... oops, hope I didn’t spoil it for anyone.

 12  Vampire Stalkers Tours

For one last chance of some souvenir shopping, don’t forget to stop at Vampire Stalkers , or perhaps book a tram-tour for next time.

Fun fact: Catch the mural of the Salvatore brothers in Damon’s car right outside of Vampire Stalkers.

Well Vampire lovers, whether you are team Stelena or Delena, one thing is for certain, you love the Vampire Diaries and you will love reliving these locations even more!

Have fun, be safe and watch out for the fangs!

Fun fact: We all rewatch the show after visiting Covington, I don’t make the rules!

Need a place to stay for the night, but you haven’t quite had enough of vampires yet? The twelve Oaks Bed and Breakfast  is perfect for you and your family. This historic Inn has many options to choose from. Check the website for availability to stay in the Salvatore Brothers Study now. We all need a little bit more Katherine Peirce in our life, check for availability to spend the night in Katherine’s Mirror Image Grand Suite . [ For more information: Visit www.twelveoaks.com ]

I recently had the pleasure of joining the Vampire Stalkers Mystic Falls Tour in Covington, GA, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide, Paisley, was an absolute gem. As a local who grew up watching "The Vampire Diaries" being filmed in her hometown, her enthusiasm and energy brought the tour to life. The two-hour guided tour was packed with fascinating information about the show, its filming locations, and behind-the-scenes stories that only someone with her background could provide. The price was fantastic for the wealth of knowledge and fun we received! A quick tip for future visitors: be sure to bring water because it can get quite hot, and wear comfy shoes--no heels, please! The tour also features a fantastic inside area filled with props and memorabilia from the cast, which was a delight for any fan. One thing to keep in mind is that the tours book up quickly, so it's wise to schedule ahead of time. Come prepared to take tons of pictures; you won't want to miss capturing the magic of Mystic Falls! Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the world of "The Vampire Diaries."

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.

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!

The back of Lockwood House.

The back of Lockwood House where Caroline and Stefan got married.

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.

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!

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......

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.

Thank you so much! We love birthdays!!!

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!

Thank you! I hope your trip was magical

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

Thank you so much for joining us and taking the time to leave a review!

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

Due to Covid 19 our return policy is very important for the safety of our customers and staff. We do have signage all throughout the store, at the register and on your receipts to make sure you are aware before purchasing. When checking out the day before you chose "No receipt" on the terminal, we did try to show you the signage in the store and explain to you that we are sorry but Covid 19 guidelines cant be changed. Safety is most important. Several of our staff have family members that are high risk and we take the guidelines to heart on their behalf and on the behalf of our customers. At the end of the day we want you and your daughter to be safe. We did offer a $20 gift card as a thank you for understanding and we hope you enjoyed using it or passing it along to a friend to use in the future. Thank you.
