2.00This tour with Debbie is not recommended. Her energy was low, voice not that audible, would trail off and forget where she was at, was coughing and hacking, and had an injured arm she complained of every 10 minutes. The tour lasted 30 minutes longer than advertised and two people in the group wanted to leave before it was even over. The other two paid for an extended tour but declined the extension at the end. The potential for the tour is there but I wouldn't recommend it with this guide, unfortunately.
Good tour

5.00We truly enjoyed the walking tour through downtown Reno. Our guide was very friendly & knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the mob history of the area. I highly recommend this tour. It's a great way to spend an evening.
Underwhelming. We heard numerous times we use to go in but now we can't. The guide talked as if she was unsure

2.00It did not, it was boring. We have been on many ghost tours, and this was a waste of time. Getting out into the fresh air and walking was memorable.
