The tour was well organized and we received a super cool glow in the dark bracelet. Our tour guide, BJ, was passionate, well scripted, and entertaining. She clearly has some theatrical experience. The walk was comfortable and well paced. The stories were interesting and well told. I only wish the group was smaller. A smaller group would have made the tour more intimate and spooky.

Lara was our tour guide and we had a great time! The town of Manteo is so picturesque and it was fascinating learning about the spooky history of The Outer Banks. I would highly recommend if you are looking for something different to do.

Julia was excellent! She was super entertaining and kept everything very fun! The tour was equal parts creepy and fun. We were a group of 9 ranging from 8 months old and up! Everyone enjoyed the tour.
