Interesting but not much spookyness.
Ashley was a good and thoughtful tour guide. The actual ghost related details seemed rather thin so she didn't have much to work with. Still an interesting walk around Cap Hill.

Learned some great new stories about my neighborhood
This was a great tour filled with history and lots of girls. I had an issue booking on my end, but the company got right back to me and fixed it all up quickly. I was really appreciative. Maggie did a great job speaking loudly enough and telling all the great stories. Thanks for a great night!

Experiencing Capital Hill on an October afternoon
Loved our tour of beautiful historic neighborhood with the details of ghostly hauntings. Bill was a great guide, very attentive to our interests and very knowledgeable about the history, the architecture, and the spirits that still linger in the capital hill area. Beautiful day and a good time was had by old and young.

History AND Ghosts
We recently took a ghost tour of Cap Hill with Ashley and had an amazing experience! We have lived here a while, but after taking this tour will never look at our neighborhood the same again! So much interesting/disturbing history, and the tour was a great way to get in the mood for spooky season. We even got to see the inside of one of the historic mansions. I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of the neighborhood and doesn't mind (or actively seeks) a touch of the morbid.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to write this fantastic, and well written review. I’m so glad that you had an excellent experience. I’m sorry if we made you take a second look at the neighborhood, but it’s our job to give you a little scare, Lol. Ashley is fantastic. I’m so glad thar she took good care of your group. Please come back and see us again sometime.
Thanks again,
Bill
