    Very knowledgeable tour guide. Fun for history buffs. It was very crowded and noisy downtown on a Friday night so my only suggestion would be to perhaps go on the tour during the week.

    If you’re wanting to see ghosts or hunt for them this is not the tour for you, BUT it is a great tour for learning the history behind the town, hearing stories about deaths that turned into rumored ghosts, and having lots of laughs along the way! John was a great guide and had us cracking up!

    Kai’s stories were wonderful and made a nonbeliever a true believer! A lot happened as a result of the Great Depression
    Response from Host, Nov 2024
    Hi, Edward! Kai will be so glad to know her storytelling turned a skeptic into a believer! The historical ties to the Great Depression always add such intrigue. We hope to see you on another tour soon!
    Phenomenal and historically educational
    Tiffani_W, Mar 2024
    Kai was the guide that we had. She was very informative and told the stories in a captivating manner! She was very respectful and done a fantastic job though she was recovering from bronchitis. If we make it back on vacation and book another tour and could choose our guide, Kai would be my first choice! She was amazing!
    Response from Host, Nov 2024
    Hi, Tiffani! Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad Kai made your tour captivating and enjoyable, even while recovering. It’s wonderful to hear she left such a positive impression. We’d love to have you join us again—Kai would be thrilled to guide you on another adventure!
