Great tour and discussion of not just the haunted locations, but the history involved in the city for each time period. Ariadne did a fantastic job of engaging everyone, answering questions, and keeping things entertaining. Tour lasts about two hours of mixed walking and standing along city sidewalks, with a pause halfway through for any break or refreshments required.

Ariadne did a great job of mixing the history with the ghosts. She dressed the part, all in black with some ghostly white. She spoke loud enough for all of us to hear. The stories were spelling binding and informative.
