Definitely a MUST, at least once. - Was very fun, my tour guide was very charismatic. Had a very unique way of inviting us to have an awesome spooky experience. Her personality was very infectious and funny. Her nature and presentation of the nights events and history of the property made the experience very enthralling, leaving my partner and I in ah and wonder with excitement. I very much enjoyed the small touches of spooky Halloween decor throughout. Definitely a MUST to experience, at least once.

Alright night - Group was too large and our tour guide talked to fast to really understand what she was saying. Tour felt rushed. Guide who was dressed in formal guide attire was great, we just were unfortunately not in her group.
