5.00We were our own little group. Our tour guide Ally was amazing. You could tell that she loved her job and ever aspect of it. She was so fun and knew lots of stories.

5.00Tour was great and very informative on the history of the people it was about. Our guide made the experience great. Spoke loud enough for everyone to hear and when the noise of downtown took over for a few seconds or so he just waited it out instead of just rushing through. We had a great time and would recommend it to all who visit the area.

3.00I would rename the tour to a historical tour instead of a ghost tour due to all the information in the places visited
Great stories, but wouldn’t recommend for people that can’t walk fast

4.00Our tour guide was very informative and we loved that the stories are based on real people. The tour guide was loud, so everyone could hear. The only dislikes were there were elderly people in our group, that couldn’t keep up with the pace of our tour guide and he didn’t wait until the group was all together before starting the story.
Great ghost tour

3.00Tour guide was very nice, good storyteller and you could tell she was very passionate about what she does . The highlight of the tour was being brought by the church yard which I found was interesting. If there is a way to go into the church yard to see the gravestones of those the stories are being told about - that would just add an extra bonus to the tour. My only suggestion is to end the tour where it starts to help those who are not familiar with the area.
Tour guide brought history to life!

5.00Our tour guide was awesome with an obvious enthusiasm for history. As we learned, he was a local teacher and so his oration skills were strong in recreating historical scenes.
Very cute tour! Our guide...
