Ghosts of Georgetown - and more - Three out of three "thumbs up!" Shout out to Georgia for a very professional and engaging narrative to the walk. We enjoyed the local history as well as the ghost stories and the Taylor Swift reference. It was all well-paced and interesting.

George Town From a Different Perspective - The tour was an entertaining experience. If you are looking for a scary experience this is not the tour for you. But if you want to get to know George Town from a different point of view this is the experience I would recommend. Now that Halloween is coming is a nice time of the year to do the tour. I enjoyed the stories our guide shared us, was definitely a fun activity!
