Our first walking tour. Informative - I love old cemeteries. Fun/ sad fact that some corpses were dug up. Lunch at Alexander Michael’s. Directions were good and we enjoyed the spooky voice, and crow sounds.

Great tour . . . But . . . - Enjoyed the tour. Felt very safe walking through the city. It's always nice to learn some of the backstories.
Only drawback was the end of the tour. I was left standing on a corner with no idea of how to get back to my car.

Overall worth the cost, but room for improvement. - I didn’t have high expectation since the price was so inexpensive, so it was worth the money. My issue was we kept losing contact with the audio. We would have to playback constantly and sometimes missed stuff altogether. I did learn a little Charlotte history, but could have gone without the Count Dracula voice.
