Paige was a GREAT tour guide. She really brought the stories to life with a great sense of humor. She even took a small group after the tour to the train station who were all worried about missing our trains! We had an awesome time on the tour and will always remember the stories.

I didn't know what to expect going into this tour other than some scary stories but we were definitely in for a fun time. Paige, our tour guide was great! she told us a couple of scary stories in character which really added that special something to the tour. Also the group we were with was fun, we kept laughing at random things that would happen around us. For example, at one point this dude dressed as Michale Myers joined the group and was acting funny and when he left we were jokingly calling him "Little Mike" and every time we saw a Michael we all laughed. Over all it a was a great tour and I'm glad we did the night one because it felt spookier.
