We were so excited to take this tour. We had a new person, that could not remember names had to look on her hand, she walked way to fast, missed a lot of what she said, due to talking and walking. Had to correct her on some of her facts. Was very disappointed, if we could get our money back I would. The other tours we took were wonderful. She had fake vampire fangs that she kept on falling off she kept on slopping them up it was not pretty. Kept on talking about her boots and her feet hurts her. Very Disappointed.
