Best part of the tour --- all of it was great. Jack was the best tour guide. He took time to answer questions and the history he provided was top notch. And he even sang a few little songs to go along with the stop.

This was a great tour! We are big paranormal/history fans and this was perfect. With our tour guide Jack and his mandolin, he entertained us with fun little diddys and spooked us with historical ghost tales! 10/10 will definitely go again!
