4.00Max was a great tour guide - it ended up being just me and my 21 year old daughter. We enjoyed the tour although as true crime junkies we would have preferred less historical and more present day. There was one 2004 crime and the rest were 1800’s and 1940. Overall still interesting and thought Max did a great job!
Amazing and interesting!

1.00Not great at all. Very little content. The guide did ok, but the crimes really weren't very interesting. We were expecting way more.
