If you want witches, this...
Nicole_V, Sept 2025
If you want witches, this isn’t the tour for you. If you want someone who can give you coherent ghost stories, also not for you.

Our guide was Nix. She was very knowledgeable and kept it interesting. She took us places I hadn't been to and relayed facts I wasn't aware of. It was a fantastic.
Excellent Tour
Karen F, Sept 2025
Highly recommend this tour and, Sebastian, our tour guide. He was informative, interesting and upbeat. It was probably one of the best ghost tours we’ve been on, and we normally do a ghost tour when we visit a new city.
