Ted met us at the meeting place in front of the visitors center and we had a short wait until everyone arrived. He started out by explaining to us how the tour would go and off we went to our first stop. We talked about history and serial killers as promised and Ted added his own spin on the tour. We hit several locations as promised but I thought I would highlight two. The cemetery and the church we huge hits for me. Ted is obligated to pass the group off to the in house people at these locations but it was perfectly fine because the guy from the burial ground was a hoot. The gentleman who spoke to us at Christ Church was passionate, knowledgeable and inspiring. His 15 minute talk was worth the price of admission alone. Ted finished up the tour with us shortly after and I could not have been more pleased. I slipped him a $20 as a tip and thanked him for his time. I’ve been on several tours in the past all around the country and this was honestly one of my all time favorites. I failed to mention early that Ted offered us some snack and adult beverages as well. This tour is also not recommended for children as there is some adult themes and language. Ted, thanks again buddy from your friends from Florida.

This tour was great, our guide Terry really knew his stuff. It was entertaining, educational, and a very scenic. If you go on a cold day, please be prepared and dressed appropriately! You don’t want to miss out on the walk and the stories. So worth your money!
