Reviews
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.
Great tour and loved the history of Portsmouth! Easy to follow
The tour was very enjoyable; allowing the participants to move and stop as they see fit. Additionally the commentary was insightful. We will consider your tours again.
