Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learned many interesting and spooky facts. However, our walk seemed rushed and ended 45 minutes earlier than it was supposed to. We had trouble keeping up because of how fast she was walking. It felt like we signed up for an aerobic haunted walking tour. My husband has a prosthetic leg and had to speed walk to keep up and was too embarrassed to say anything but she wasn’t walking at an average speed at all. It would have been more enjoyable if she slowed down.

The tour guide never showed up for our tour. We stood out in the cold waiting for half hour along with another group that had also booked the tour and the guide never showed. Very disappointed!! It was this past Friday the Nov 13th and we were really looking forward to it! ☹️
