The tour was great! Our guide was engaging, told fun stories, and kept us chatting as we were going from one place to another. She also sprinkled in a few general city recommendations, which I appreciated since I'm only visiting for the weekend. She also brought a couple of EMF readers with her and we had some fun with those. I signed up on a whim, 30min before the tour started, and this really hit the spot. The walking was not very strenuous and we kept a good pace. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that I'm comparing it to a couple of pretty incredible ghost tours I've had in other cities. Definitely recommend as a fun weekend evening activity.
