Informative Entertainment - Thomas led a great tour! He gave great bits of history while telling us stories of some of the more notable spirits all while being fun and telling jokes. The tour was a great way to get to know the island a little better on our first night.

History, architecture, and great ghost stories! - Thomas gave us great history, great stories, and you can tell that he is really invested in creating a great experience for his groups.

Fun evening! - Took my daughter and a group of her friends on this tour for her 18th birthday. Thomas was very informative and kept everyone interested and entertained throughout the tour, which is not an easy thing to do with teenagers. Even though we are locals we learned lots of things about the island we never knew. Would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks for a fun evening Thomas!

Spooky, fun and cheap! - My husband and I decided last minute to do this for our date night and glad we did. Thomas was a hilarious tour guide, loved all of his dad jokes and pestering passerby’s! He was very knowledgeable, so be ready to ask some questions, even the dumb ones, he may know the answer! Maybe go on a less busy bar night if doing the strand tour, prevented us from walking more than he would have liked. Overall a really great tour nonetheless!
