This is the only Viator tour we have ever taken where we were extremely disappointed. After reading the excellent reviews, we were looking forward to this event. During our tour we had the impression our guide that evening might be filling in for the regular guide. He could not answer questions, but said he "could look it up for us", but he did not do so. He suggested that he had personal experience with some of the spirits he described haunting different homes, which was not believable. We did not see the pharmacy museum at all. There were some inappropriate comments made that I will share if contacted by a Viator representative. Our guide was very conscious of checking with us to see if we were okay with the walking (which we all were) which was considerate. We had booked the extended tour, but by the end of the regular tour we were more than ready for it to be over. We did see many ongoing tours that evening with other companies, so we would recommend you find another tour if you are interested in a ghost tour. This is not the one though...at least not that night.

Hi Byron. We are sorry your tour did not meet your expectations. Our normal guide is a female. Your tour was led by a male? We would like to get some more feedback from you to make sure this does not happen again in the future. Please email us at [email protected]. Thank you!

I hate to give a bad review and it had little to do with our guide. There we several other groups also doing the tour but we were the only ones on our tour (my husband and I). You’d think this would be an advantage but it really added nothing to the tour except a slight awkwardness since the focus was all on us. That said, it’s basically just s walking ghost story that wasn’t narrated that great. I think we’d heard most of the tales but we felt no more educated throughout the tour. It was really quite boring and passing the other groups, they seemed to be having a better time. 2 hour walk— better ghost stories on tv. I expected more chills and thrills although one location had very heavy energy that was indeed palatable.
