The Ghost tour… quick cash grab

3.00In all honesty i wouldn’t recommend the ghost tour (Ghost? What ghosts) we went last night and even though it was an experience being there at night there just wasn’t enough time and you didn’t get to see all the areas. The guide was funny but some of the stories felt long winded to pass time i.e the school kid, the after hours events, the two spiritualists etc… this would have been fine if we didn’t only get 15 minutes to self explore around the section we was in, there wasn’t enough time to actually look around and read the information or see the items (Death masks etc..) as it was more of a rushed walk around taking photos. Unfortunately it felt more like a fast cash grab rather than anything else as you do a loop around the same section and don’t get to experience the different areas.
