Spooky good time!

Fun tour and got to see things I wouldn’t have known to seek out. Hellen Duncan was a fun and informative guide.

Boring guide but enjoyed the underground and graveyard

Our guide was a bit boring unfortunately. He kept forgetting his lines, spoke very quietly and walked so quickly the majority of the group struggled to keep up. He even admitted to the group that he didn’t believe anything he was telling us. The concept was cool though. Liked the underground and the graveyard.
