We hear the tales of two of our haunted hotels, and three of the five original churches of the city.

our tour guide was very good and very knowledgeable. she cracked some well received jokes and it was an overall great time. she had a group of about 30 people (sold out tour) and still managed to make everyone feel welcome and like she was talking to them specifically. I highly recommend this tour

I loved the church. It was a authentic building plus it was a good story. I love orginal stories. I felt like some of the stories could not be told right because most of the building had been torn down. Not your fault at all. I felt like the person telling the stories was doing her best. But I actually felt like it could of been better. I most likely would of been happier with the cemetery tour.
