Try it! - Our tour guide Caelyn was phenomenal! There is a bit of walking on hills up and down with some uneven footing. just make sure you’re prepared. The storytelling and excitement of our tour guide was fantastic. Kept us glued to the tour from beginning to end. Thanks to Caelyn, we cannot wait to take another meerkat tour. No just scares or startles, simply great storytelling and history. Just the right level of spook.

Doomed, Dead & Buried - We booked on the Doomed, Dead & Buried tour and our guide Caelyn was amazing! Really informative, engaging, and great at creating an atmosphere. Very impressed with the vaults and the set up of the tour itself. The length and route of the tour was perfect and I will definitely be back for another tour :)

Worth It - We've been on a number of ghost tours and this was a great one combining history with a bit of spookiness. We loved being able to go into the underground vaults and through the graveyard. Our tour guide was entertaining and informative.
