Ted did an excellent job, was very informative, humorous, and knowledgeable. I can highly recommend Ted and this tour.

One of the first reasons we picked this tour was because there wouldn’t be children on it. The second was because it had really good reviews on this site. We were not let down by those reviews! We had Joe for our tour, and he was filling in for the guy who has been the more recent guide. He asked that we didn’t hold it agains him since it had been awhile since he’d guided this tour… well, it must’ve been like riding a bike because he was GREAT! I love guides who are engaging and entertaining, and he was on point on both accounts! It was a decent amount of walking, but we stopped often to learn about something historical, or someone who was just bat s%!t crazy and killed people. What’s a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon?!? 10/10 would recommend, but please remember what they say about no kids and that it could be distressing for some people. But if serial killers and wacky history interest you, then I’d check it out!!

I really enjoyed this tour. It was as much a historical tour as a ghost tour but I was ok with that. The group was small and Ted seemed very passionate about the topics. He took time to chat with everyone individually which was nice. Overall I would happily recommend.
