We enjoyed the stories told and the bits of history and information about each stop. We were in town just 2 nights for this first visit and we appreciated being able to book same day and on a Th. When we saw we were only 2 on the tour, it was a nice touch that it was not canceled or asked to join other tours getting started.

The tour didn’t give you very many ghost stories for the time you spent walking. We paid for the extra long tour and were the only ones, so we had a private tour by circumstances. The latter part of the tour was much better and had better stops and stories.
