“We had a mix up with the time and ended up missing out original tour but the tour operator was able to move us to a later time. Our tour guide was new to the Ghost tours but very nice and the stories were interesting and kept my kids attention. They loved Jack, the horse as well and had a chance to give him some belly stratches at the end of our tour. Would definitely recommend them.”
