Great tour! - We loved this tour! Our tour guide was a local which added to the authenticity of the tour and recommendations given. Great historical stories told that brought the city to life in a different way! Appropriate length and variety of places visited. We always go on ghost tours in the different cities that we visit and this was definitely one of our favorites! Brought our two teenage boys with who both enjoyed as well.

History in the dark with a ghostly twist. - Our tour guide, Jenn, was Amazing! She texted me the day before with detailed meetup info, what she’d be wearing and a reminder to go to the bathroom prior to the walk. This wasn’t a jump scare ghost tour. But if you love history and old stories, this is a tour for you! History you know, think you know and don’t know. Wear comfortable shoes! The walk is about a mile but the sidewalks and streets are old and in the dark pose a tripping hazard. I would do this tour again.

Spooky and Fun Ghost Tour - My daughter and I really enjoyed this tour! The different stops were really interesting and Bruce our guide was fantastic! He shared a lot of great ghost stories, but also gave historical backgrounds of each of the stops. Definitely recommend!
