This tour was absolutely amazing. I signed up for this tour as a little activity for a bachelorette party, and it was an absolute hit. Our tour guide, Paige, was absolutely amazing. She was funny, informative, and overall a theatrical person who absolutely MADE this tour phenomenal. The entire group was in tears laughing at multiple points, but we all were also spooked at multiple points. I would suggest this tour to everyone coming to visit!

This tour is really fun. It was very interesting with unique stories of the area and our excellent tour guide, Paige. We traveled to several locations, only 3 of which were more than a 1 minute walk away. But nothing was more than 5 minutes. An added bonus was that the tour is wheelchair accessible!
