The tour guide (Tad) connects immediately with the group and wants to share his enthusiasm. He tells each story with great drama, history, scandal, humor and mystery - not hokey or scary at all, just lots of details that really make you wonder what happened. Be prepared to walk a lot (and be REALLY prepared - there are NO bathrooms along the route.) The walk covers a lot of downtown Asheville. Our group had over 50 people on a Sunday night - glad we reserved in advance.
