This was such a fun, informative tour! Our guide Henry, was very well educated about the local scene, history and had fun little quips for everything! He didnā€™t just recite information to us like he had memorized a textbook, he did his research and thoughtfully took us around the town to show locations while telling us the stories. In some tragic cases, he would tell us what was considered witch craft, was really certain mental illnesses, or be real about unfair advantages of the time between different genders and classes. He would point out his favorite places along the way, and sneak in other fun facts so it was never dull! Fully recommend witch city over any other tour service AND have had feedback from friends loving their other tour options!

Samantha was great! She gave chilling tales and had photos or videos of nearly all the ghost stories. I think the snow added to the atmosphere. I loved this tour
