Our tour guide Cassandra was a true believer! She not only had good ghost stories, but a lot of background information that she researched herself. She was very intense!

"intense!" Thank you for the kind words.

The stories that Ken told to the group. He pulled the kids in to tell them a story of how the children played on the hill. Then he spoke to the women of the group with a story about Jennie Wade. The story of the county jail was interesting too.

Ken was a great tour guide. He clearly detailed the lives of the soldiers and residents before, during and after the battle. We learned a lot of things we didn't know. Great stories!

Susan, the tour guide was so knowledgeable and personable. She was like a walking encyclopedia of knowledge of so many facets of the time. the houses and the people life stories. She also brought along an ipad and showed us additional images that related to each story. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip we learned so much.

Not happy with this experience. The guide seemed much more interested in drama than facts, history and actual events. Would not recommend
Response from Host, Nov 2023

Michel_T, Nov 2023
Ken was awesome with the kids. Even on a cold night he kept us entertained. His story telling was dynamic and he was considerate of the younger kids on the tour. He is a great caretaker of his group. I would recommend this for families.
