Great tour!
The tour is small enough for questions and comments. You walk in a group to several locations (churches and graveyards) at night. Our guide was friendly and had tons of great stories about history and ghosts.
Operator response
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Would not recommend
We were expecting a spooky tour of the Graveyard and to hear about the ghosts. However our guide was very lean on telling ghost stories. She would have been better at guiding historical and architectural tours. Felt like it was a total waste of our time and money.
