I was extremely disappointed with this tour. Save your money. Our tour guide did not know the history or any “ghost” stories. It all sounded very made up and kept reading for help. NOT SCARY AT ALL. The people taking the tour actually knew more information than the tour guide. Also no lantern. 1/10 . The best part was the weather.
