This 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!

We 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. 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!

Rayrie is a great guide - very knowledgeable with wonderful stories! Dress for the weather because it's all outdoors (it was clear and chilly for our tour but we were comfortable). The extended tour was almost 3 hours and 1-1/2 miles on generally flat city pavements.

We left slmost right away. My wife is asthmatic and we had to play catch up at each stop with no allowance being made to accommodate her pace. Also, through no fault of the tour guide, the street noise made it very difficult to hear his narration.

Greg did a great job with all the history and stories. It would have been really nice if we could have gone into one of the buildings, maybe the last hotel. That would really enhance the experience and make it feel all encompassing.
