5.00Outstanding tour guide. Very knowledgeable! Loved the history of Madison- that was my favorite part about the tour.
Stunningly awful tour. The only scare was how bad it was

1.00This was stunningly awful. It was comical how bad it was. The poor student tour guide was abysmal in managing a large group, projecting his voice, acting interested, and knowing the material. It could have been an SNL skit in how bad it was. The fellow grandma tourist from Middletown, WI wuld have done a better job reading the script blind than our tour guide. There was virutally no paranormal or ghost stories besides a few people died in the capitol building during construction and the tour guide's fellow students once felt cold there. To the tour guide's credit, this is the fault of the company -- not the student who couldn't care less about ghosts trying to earn money for a summer job.
No ghost-great history lesson

5.00James was a great story teller and was knowledgeable about local history. However, his voice volume was quite low, making him difficult to hear at times. I thought it was odd that the tour ended so far away from where it began.
A spooky walk down history. Fun and easy walk.

5.00Pretty great tour! Our guide Aubree was very personable and knew so much history about the city. Great way to find out where to go investigating if you are interested in interacting with the paranormal. The extended tour option was worth it since there was a particular ghosty location that is calling my name which I never would have known was there had I not been on the tour.
Great tour
