It was ok

Cathy_S, Oct 2023

It would have been nice to have more current ghost stories than centuries ago. It was getting boring after listening to that as it wasn’t scary at all.

Cute little short tour

Magali_C, Oct 2023

Cute tour. It is very memorized and recited, kind of feels like you’re watching a play, but it’s a cute little short tour. Would have liked it to be creepier, personally.

It was a very nice...

Jack was kind and knowledgeable!! Great at telling a good story. We had a spooky fun time! My hubby is a history buff and I'm a paranormal buff, so v this type of tour works well for us.

Ghosts and cobblestones

Betina_W, May 2023

Kit was fun and very knowledgeable about the distillery. It was really interesting to hear the history connected to the ghosts. I'd recommend getting there a couple of hours early and having a bite to eat or explore the shops.

Sarah was awesome and...

Jason_J, Apr 2023

Sarah was awesome and made our night. Would recommend to all my friends. She was very knowledgeable and added flare to the stories

Great Story Telling

SANDRA_M, Oct 2022

Our guide , Cole was an excellent story-teller and built up suspense throughout the tour. Walking from location to location was a great way to experience the stories. I have already recommended the tour to a friend and we look forward to checking out other ghost tours in the city that Cole mentioned.

Ask for Katie!!

Jennifer_F, Aug 2022

This was a fantastic tour, with a lovely guide as the cherry on top! The distillery is a mix of old world charm and cobblestone walkways, and interesting stores, with very decadent looking restaurants and cafes. Our guide Katie was perfect for this tour. Friendly and energetic, and with just the right amount of subtle humour made for a delightful nighttime tour!

Absolutely awesome tour....

Elizabeth_T, Aug 2022

Absolutely awesome tour. We had a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide and, although I was initially disappointed that this was clearly meant to be be "fun" rather than "spooky" I found myself caught up in the stories and had an amazing time. It would be useful if the local restaurants etc. which are used as landmarks for the meeting point directions knew the tours and could help guests to find them.

Fantastic must do tour!

Rachel_W, May 2022

Irene was a fantastic tour guide! She did an amazing job projecting her voice so we could all hear her; she was cognizant of maintaining social distancing; and she even offered to pause/stop while walking if any of us wanted pictures around the Distillery District. And the stories were super spooky and the history we learned was great! Fabulous tour that I would most definitely recommend.

Great tour with Sarah

heather_b, Apr 2022

Really enjoyed the tour. Distillery District is very pretty. Our guide, Sarah, was very knowledgable and gave us great stories too.

The best part of the Tour...

Blair_M, Sep 2021

The best part of the Tour was the Tour guide and her knowledge of not only of ghosts and spirits but of the city as well. Highly recommended
