The tour was fantastic and our guide Paige was outstanding! She had a ton of knowledge and was very friendly, energetic, with a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend this tour. The different murders and mysteries sites spanned more than 300 years, and while it touched on the which trials at several points, it wasn't just another 1692 history lesson.
