We had a wonderful time. We booked through Groupon so we got a great deal but even if not it would've been worth it. We went on a Thursday so a weird night so we we had the tour all to ourselves. Molly (i believe that's right, horrible with names) was our guide and she was delightful. Friendly, engaging and full of knowledge. It wasn't just about the ghost stories but the history also. She even shared personal experiences of encounters which was a nice touch. She even helped us find our way back to our car. Above and beyond service from the start to the finish. Highly recommend.

Excellent guide, full of content, great presentation! I appreciated the costume and lantern. Can definitely recommend. Only one tip- a microphone would have been helpful in downtown.

A ghostly time and a great city. Jasmine was our tour guide and she was extremely informative. She went above and beyond. Took pictures of our family spent more than enough time with us and reeli was able to tie in the history. We really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it for reference we went with some kids and some teenagers and it was a great time.
