2.00Disappointing. This was a walking tour to view, from the outside, a few buildings where tragic events took place. It was intermingled with a few of the guides ghost stories You don't go into any buildings. It wasn't what we were expecting a ghost touri to be for the $30 it cost. Didn't waste your money.
Something touristy to do that was worth it.

5.00Ariadne was the best! Her story telling is phenomenal and her jokes kept things fun. I loved the way she added her personal ghost stories to an already spooky tour.

5.00I have been on similar tours in other cities, but this one was the best. First, they divided the group into three smaller groups making the experience more intimate.

Thank you, Arty!

3.00We waited a half hour and found out that the driver was in an accident and and the tour wouldn’t be happening. (We understand that wasn’t in anyone’s control and no one’s fault). We can not give it a fair rating because it didn’t go on.

5.00Ariane did an amazing job as a tour guide. She was professional, knowledgeable and focused. She shared personal information and stories that enhanced the tour. There were so many tour choices online. Our concierge recommended this one and we were very fortunate to get Ariadne! As we walked by other tour groups, several guides told us we got the best tour guide and we agree!
