I took this tour with my sister and preteen niece. It was my niece's first ghost tour and I think she had a lot of fun. Trish is great guide who tells her stories with fun and enthusiasm. Her stories are also all from her own personal experiences or from those she knows well which makes her tour more genuine than you might get from others around the city. I recommend taking the tour early in your trip as my family and I had fun the following day coming across the places on our tour again in the daytime and recalling everything we learned. I also definitely recommend this tour for anyone big into ghost hunting and taking pictures of orbs and the like. Trish had a lot of examples of pictures people have captured on past tours and seeing those was really cool.

Trish was knowledgeable, energetic, and fun. She knew the area extremely well and filled our tour with local flavor. It was enjoyed by the whole family down to our 7 year old. Great experience and memories made, do it!
