Loved this tour! Evan was great. Liked that he told us super interesting stories and also let us know afterwards what was true and what was legend. LOVE that this was a small group (we just had my group of 5 plus one other person). Highly recommend!!

Evan did an excellent job; he was formative and interesting in the history and ghost stories he told.

Evan was awesome! Supremely knowledgeable, with accurate facts and riveting stories while being modest about it all. It’s clear he’s done his homework and knows his history! If you’re looking for a showman this isn’t the tour for you, but if you want interesting and real stories from a smart guy, consider this tour.
