    Great night out!

    Michael was our guide and he was very knowledgable. The conspiracy tour was a great alternative since we did not want to attend a tour about murder or ghosts. We had a great time and would highly recommend.

    The tour was just underwhelming and the conspiracies/dark history was pretty dull. It also kinda sucked that we didn’t end where we started. So it was a bit of a walk back to cars afterward. Very MEH.
