Disappointing, Learned Nothing of the Orphange
We were excited to go on this tour and get Mike as a tour guide since we went on this tour with him a few years ago and remembered him being very good. Our tour last night was super disappointing as Mike barely said anything about ghosts and the orphanage. We stayed in the first room for almost an hour where he only talked about old life in Gettysburg, about courting and marriage. For almost an hour, it was a history lesson and nothing about ghosts or the orphanage. In the second room, all Mike did was talk about himself, how we can tip him, and about the other tour guides at the company. The basement was very rushed and finally, only a little was said about the orphange. The tour went a half hour over, which would have been fine, if we were actually learning about the orphange and what we paid for. Mike only rambled about random topics and jokes, and we left knowing hardly anything about the orphange, and nothing about any activity in the house. Very disappointed and will not be back.
Eye Opening and Educational
Kris did a fantastic job “becoming” Miss Rosa! She had an immense amount of knowledge about the orphanage and its residents. The cellar was interesting. We’re believers that there is someone down there. Had lots of little touches on my leg and arms. Mentioned it to Kris. She later confirmed there are many stories of a little boy that likes to touch people in the cellar. Would definitely recommend!
Tour
I really enjoyed the tour with our guide The Undertaker. He was very entertaining and informative. I actually felt like I was back in 1863.
