Brilliant Tour! - We had a fab time on this tour, even in the rain! Super informative and really fun. Very engaging guide, W.M Blackwood was brilliant and kept us entertained and interested, even with the aforementioned rain! Would love to do another in the future. Loved the handy hints for places to go afterwards too, the Dead Rabbit was ace :-)

Spooky and fun - Such a fun way to explore the city and learn some history. Blackwood (Bailey) was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and it was a pleasure to explore the city with them. Can’t recommend this experience enough. A silly good time! Wear comfy shoes though because this covers a lot of ground. I wore heeled boots and fear I shall never recover, and what was once my feet shall haunt the Five Points neighborhood for the rest of time.

Amazing guide - This was an incredible ghost tour, my guide Bailey (W. M. Blackwood) was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. They were incredibly entertaining and very helpful. I've been on several ghost tours and this was one of the best, I can't recommend this tour enough.

Superb tour - I just did this tour a few nights ago with Bailey and it did NOT disappoint. He was extremely knowledgeable, referencing different historical events and dates. Additionally, he is a gifted storyteller! His delivery was so captivating and I enjoyed every minute of it. The images he pulled up helped put the stories into context, and added to the spookiness of the crimes he talked about. I highly recommend this tour!
