Pretty meh tour. Appreciated some of the history, but some of the stories just were not that interesting. Our guide tried too hard to be funny and overly dramatic. Didn't really try to include any audience participation which can make things more interesting and fun. Her invitation to basically feel free to give her a tip was kind of tacky IMO (not included in my rating). Tiring hearing about how she's in therapy. Out of their control, but FYI there are other groups doing tours around the same time (no surprise), and occasionally we could hear their guide talking in the background at the same time which could be distracting for some. Just something to consider, especially if you're coming in Oct which means even more crowds.

50% of the people did not stay beyond the first hour. The 2 stories she told had no originality and were about witchcraft ( the information stated that they would not be about this topic). She went on and on about the same thing. It was very very boring!! Secondly she introduced herself and stated that she had bronchitis and was coughing Thirdly she was swearing crazy… saying f*** like it was normal vocabulary Very very boring!!!!!!!

Loved this! Would do it again. Very fun and was interesting to hear spooky stories. Vanessa was a doll and the best at telling us information about each place we saw.
