Great Tour, Lisa is outstanding!

Matt_S, Mar 2024

Took this tour with the family prior to boarding a cruise in March. Lisa was a great guide, and took us on a nice tour of some of the haunted areas in the city. She really took pride in the tour, answered all of our questions, and always found a spot where we could hear her stories.

Great for adults and families

Laura_M, Mar 2024

Tour was excellent. Lots of history mixed in with the supernatural. Rare experience that was a hit with my 15 yo, 6 yo, and myself. Must do.

Fun way to learn about the history of the city

Wouldn’t recommend

Miho_T, Nov 2023

The tour was quite boring. Our guide had a really bad articulation and it was hard to understand what he was saying at all. Nothing was scary and the kids complained nonstop that they wanted to go back to the hotel.

Tammy_I, Jul 2023

Just a silly, fun way to spend a little time our first night in town. Pretty hokey of course, and our guide was not the most entertaining, but she did offer a lot of information about the stops we made.
