Pull the YES card.... - Great tour and fascinating never before heard stories and history of the area. Our guide was great and an absolutely riveting story teller. She did an awesome job of making us fell like it was 1892 again. The history alone makes for great tales and you are left with the feeling of the spirits whose unfinished business keeps them close to home. Highly recommended.

Entertaining history tour for adults and kids 10+ - The presentation is very story-driven. It is well paced and a good length. It's great being outside and walking throughout the city. The guide helped us envision what the landscape looked like 150 years ago. The ghost stories aren't horrific, but they stick with you and help you remember the history. IMO it was a little too creepy for kids under 10, especially at the end when it was dark outside. But it's appropriate for older kids and all adults.

Fantastic Experience! - Great experience! It was fascinating to learn so much history in a short amount of time. The tour guides were knowledgeable and fantastic storytellers.
