More Historical Than Haunted

3.00I went in expecting a spooky, goosebumps kind of experience, but it didnt really hit that mark for me. The buildings we visited were actually quite nice and not at all eerie, and doing the tour while it was sunny took away the overall vibe. It ended up feeling more like a regular sightseeing tour with some ghost storiea sprinkled in. Alexa was good though and very cinematic.
It was amazing the Julia...
