Great night outing! - Everything about our experience was great. The tour was a comfortable length and our group was small enough that we didn’t feel crowded. Our guide (Peter) was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Every effort was made to keep us safe and comfortable. The lamp light walk was suitably spooky and the copious number of spiders and webs along the way ( an unintentional extra I’m sure!) all helped with the atmosphere.

Highly recommend. - Our guide Vivian was excellent.. charismatic and passionate about the stories. We also learned about the fort, its history and characters. A great experience being in the fort at night… and spooky. Only criticism.. we had a large group and a few people talked when the guide was speaking. This was a real distraction. Guides should be able to demand silence while they tell their stories. Highly recommend this experience otherwise.

Worth the experience and was amazing - This was a great experience and my kids really had a blast. Our guide Zaran was knowledgeable and she made the entire experience memorable. Though we didn’t see any ghost I would recommend the trip

Informative - We did the last tour of the night, which I would recommend. I was not scared at all, but the tour was very informative. I would eliminate kids for the last two tours of the night just because they slightly ruined the experience. I assume there are Halloween effects at that time. I was hoping for things to randomly “come to life”. All in all, a great experience. Megan was our tour guide. She was excellent.

Disappointed. Fell Far Short of Expectations. - We have done ghost tours in the past, and have found that the success of the tour really depends on which tour guide you get. Our lady - while very knowledgeable and well spoken - was devoid of any personality or passion. One of the first things she said, was that she personally had not experienced anything paranormal at the Fort, and by the way she said it, you could just tell she was not a 'believer'. Half way through both my husband and I were bored.

Very Disappointed... - Our tour guide was scripted, had zero personality, got upset/annoyed easily, and was very lackluster in her overall presentation. It felt forced and had a group of us lingering in the back because she was so bad. We are very disappointed.
