“We loved the tour. We’ve been to many ghost tours and this was one of the top. The content was excellent and Zander was definitely a guy we would want to spend more time with. We took our adult kids who live locally and they said they didn’t know any of the history we learned. Book the tour and don’t look back! If you can get Zander, even better!”
