2.00Absolutely not worth it ... probably depends on your guide, which you can't control, so take this with a grain of salt. But our guide seemed like she had never spoken to a group of people before, couldn't remember facts of stories, or land a ghost story. Extremely disappointed.
EMF detectors available on this tour.

4.00Great. Guide had EMF detectors we could use. I’ve never had those on a ghost tour before. I’m a bit of a skeptic, but those things went off like crazy. A lot of history on the tour about the buildings and a bit about the people. Tour lasted 1 hour. I would recommend
Josh was a wonderful...

2.00The guide needs to have a certain personality or charisma for these tours to be successful. Our guide did not have those things, just forced humor. Another couple on the tour bailed after 15 minutes. We stayed until the end but were counting the minutes. Try another tour.
