We weren't in Jefferson on a day that the Ghost Tours were taking place so we tried this recorded walking tour. It turned out to be great. We could walk at our own pace, start the tour when we wanted, pause when we wanted to, and rewind if we missed something interesting. I would try it in any other city it's available.
