5.00My girlfriend and I went for a Valentine’s Day special and it was a lot of fun. Our guide showed us around some especially spooky buildings and landmarks in Old Town and told us really interesting and spooky ghost stories of the residents that had lived here long ago. Would highly recommend!

5.00Very informative and well delivered. Some great stories I haven't heard before. The stories stayed as family friendly as death can be. Take pictures while you're there, you might end up catching something on camera.
