★★★★★Sebastian was an excellent guide and did a great job of mixing historical information with paranormal information as well and had a lovely demeanor. He also did a great job of letting the weight of history set in to the group. Wonderful experience!

★★★★☆Jim was a good guide. Our group was a bit large. Your prices were good and we learned a lot on the tour. It poured rain but we survived.
