Great time

Tim was great and very informative. More of a history tour than a ghost tour. Unable to enter into any places to use EMF reader. Not worth the extra few bucks to add it on , but over all tour was great.

We love learning about history

We love learning about history, so this was a fun way to do it. We've been on a couple of other ghost tours here, so we knew a lot of the stories that were being told, however, there were a few other ones we didn't know about so that was cool. Our tour was also on the same night as the art festival, so it was really loud out. We had a hard time hearing, until we got to a quieter space. My only suggestions would be for our tour guide to speak louder and look at us when speaking instead of while walking.

Awesome tour with great guide, and stories. Great value!

Our guide, Perry, was incredible. He was kind, funny, thorough with the history, and told the haunted stories in a engaging way that was the perfect balance of light, but also a little scary. He also gave us some amazing recommendations for restaurants that we ended up using the very next day. Would 100% recommend!

10/10 recommend! This was great!

This was a great tour, and our tour guide was wonderful! We wish we could remember her name, but she was the sweet soul in the heart glasses and the cool tattoos! She was personable, knowledgeable, and kind, and make the tour interesting. She told the stories with a passion that brought them alive. The EMF readers were a great touch, and we actually felt and saw things along the way - faces in the window, handprints on the glass. I really felt the experience of the man at the jail with the chains, and the building gave off so much energy, the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stood up! This was a fun/creepy tour, exactly as advertised and we would recommend 10/10! Thank you for giving us the experience we were looking for!
