Overpriced and underwhelming - We came as a group of friends. From the start, our tour guide was NOT dressed like a zombie as stated in the description and name of the tour. We were told by our guide the owner just doesn’t want to do it anymore. It should have been changed. He also told us the equipment we would use doesn’t work well if at all. He stated he would placed the EMF devices near his wifi router until they didn't beep anymore. Some of the EMF equipment was in Chinese. So everyone did not get one. He really didn’t care and seemed annoyed to have to have them. He was somewhat knowledgeable with the “people” buried in the cemetery, but the tour as a whole was beyond disappointing. We made it fun as a group. I would of rather have someone excited to be to at work, leaving off all the “issues” that come with the tour and why we should have booked the night time tour. I was so annoyed by the comments about the tour we picked was like a filler. The night tours are better and we still had time to buy those tickets. No thanks after the afternoon tour. I hope they see this and are able to make the changes they need to so people can have a fun time! I would have been more tickled if he didn’t place the ghost hunting equipment next to his wifi router and didn’t tell us that. Then said there are ghosts going crazy around us in the cemetery when they went off every 5 mins. What do I know?! I would have believed him!
