Do not waste your money on this private experience

Kim_J, Oct 2026
We chose a private experience as we thought we would learn more or have a more individualized experience. We were all very disappointed. It was maybe 30 minutes and we went in a small circle and past the hotel we stayed at and pretty much that was it. It was the end of the night for most the tours and going into the evening ghost tours, not sure if that was why, but we left extremely disappointed. Do not recommend this tour at all. Have already let several people know of this experience on top of the excessive cost.
