5.00Jordyn did a great job as guide for our Milwaukee Morbid Mirrorlight Ghost tour. She shared great historical facts about several buildings, Milwaukee landmarks and the ghosts that haunt them. These tours are always fun for us and this one was no exception. The tour takes you in almost a complete circle and is a fairly easy walk, distance and pace.

5.00This was a great little tour! Our guide Alexandra was knowledgeable and made it fun. It’s a great way to see the city, learn some history, and if you’re lucky like we were, you may even encounter some paranormal activity!

1.00We went on the extended tour in Milwaukee WI and it was terrible. Our guide Lexi had no idea what the script was and fumbled through the whole night. She provided details to the stories that contradicted the historical markers at the sites and could not answer basic questions to fill in the blanks of her disjointed and incomplete stories. Honestly, it made for a couple of laughs on our ride home, since we didn't want to make her feel bad during the tour since she was a very young person. It felt like we were listening to a high school student fake a presentation that they did not do the work for.
All takes place outside....

5.00All takes place outside. No direct contact with ghosts inside buildings. A great history of the hauntings is given. It was very interesting. Grant is a great story teller!
Great walking tour that combined history and local lore.
