    Joseph was an articulate, captivating story teller. He knows his subject well, welcomes questions and interacts on a personable level. The walking was way less intense than I expected, though I’d have been fine with more (Even tackling that huge hill to see the mansion!!). It was a lot of fun and we’re already looking at going in the haunted trolley tour.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    So glad you had an amazing time with Joseph he’s a pro at blending history, mystery, and fun! And hey, we love your enthusiasm… maybe that hill climb will be on the trolley tour next time 😉👻 Thanks for the glowing review!

    Absolutely worth it!!!

    Had a great time, our tour guide, Linda did a great job. What made it 10 times better was her story telling skills, which kept us hooked from the start. Would definitely try other tours with her.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Linda’s storytelling is next level so glad you had a great time! Can’t wait to have you on another tour with her soon. Thanks for the love! 👻

    It was a very interesting tour with true stories of ghosts from the city and general area. Our guide also provided a lot of good ideas for places available to the public where one might later go to have a potential ghost experience on your own. Great guide. Beautiful city.
