Could not find the tour

Could not find the tour. Searched for 15 minutes and Ben asked in the stores where it was nobody knew anything about it. Oh well we are out 75 dollars between us. Think more information about where to go would be good.

Operator response

Not very spooky...

Well to start its deceiving saying its the original ghost tour when in fact its a new business getting started. I thought I was booking with a business that had been giving tours there from the beginning of ghost tours. The lady was friendly and told some stories but it was just informative not told in a spooky tone or anything. Wish I had done more research i would of booked with the ghost tours that ho into the homes/ buildings etc.

Please delete your review (youve been refunded not ghosted). We are sorry this tour didnt work out and please ask that you delete this review as it negatively is affecting our business.

Scare me again

This was a cool walk around tour. Our guide had researched her stories to be more knowledgeable when talking to us. Would love to go into a building too. That will come next

Great energy

The guide had lots of energy & great stories to tell. We had to rush the tour due to crazy thunderstorms. We would definitely try again another time. She said we could return for free.

Operator response

Hey there! Thunderstorms definately rained on our parade (no pun intended). Please let us know when youd like to do it again and we'd love to have you. Send us an email lanternslegends@gmail.com
