We appreciated the intriguing location and timing- at dusk, of this tour. Our guide was excellent! A strong voice that could be heard by all and a great pace of sharing the information of earliest peoples, Calvary , and later insane asylum that were all located on the grounds we walked.

Great time for our family to get to explore the history. We have two 16 y.o. boys that aren't always easy to get interested in a family bight out, but this tour captured their attention and we had a great time. Our guide was well spoken, his presentation was excellent with an iPad to show photos of the history and people he was speaking about. The ghost aspect was a fun but not scary element that added to the atmosphere, but kept it pg as to not scare little ones, so family friendly for all ages. As the sun went down, it did get chilly, so bring a coat. The tour lasted about an hour and a half, perfect amount of time. Very pleasant experience.

This is the 3rd tour we've done with Chris and just love him. So knowledgeable about the history and can tell how much he loves his job, makes it very fun. Also blows us away how he retains all that info...LOL.
