Great tour guide and guide was knowledgeable about the area and the history Walking was not too much and it was fun
Very entertaining...host was an excellent storyteller. Enjoyed the snippets of history around the ghostly legends.
Our guide Jeff did a great job. It does include a lot of walking, be prepared. Ghost stories definitely fit the theme.
Fun way to learn history while hearing great ghost stories. Lots of information about our nation’s first capital and some of those who were important figures
We had such a great time with Jeff! He was informative and made history fun and left us with something to ponder after each stop. Thank You!
I am fairly certain my tour guide had been drinking. You could smell it on him and he was sweating on a chilly night. His shirt was unbuttoned halfway down to his stomach and he looked very disheveled. He was difficult to understand when talking and would randomly yell at us as a scare tactic but it was just weird and annoying. I booked a candlelight tour on purpose and his lantern was turned off the entire tour, don’t know what the point of carrying it around was.
Our tour guide has amazing orating skills. It is like going on a tour with James Earl Jones as your guide!
Jeff was AWESOME!!! We love you Jeff
Great Guide - leaning towards theatrics rather than a lot of indepth history but very entertaining still
Our guide was very informative and she made the stories gripping. The walk was not too strenuous and lit up enough to feel safe.
Glad you enjoyed!
