“Conor was extremely informative and entertaining! He provided a detailed history of the area and its dark past. Even though the weather was a little windy and wet i only saw smiling faces on the other attendees. He kept us laughing and engaged. I wanted to say it was especially appreciated that he was able to project his voice so well, as we were a pretty large group, and my partner who usually has a difficult time hearing was able to follow along without issue. Wonderful tour! Highly recommend.”

“A lot of 'interesting' things happened on this tour. Our guide was very informative and there were no theatrics, which is how I prefer my tours. But the way the tour guide approached the material and addressed the audience was really good. The 'interesting' occurrences I mentioned before just seemed to happen and by far the scariest place I have been to on all the ghost walking tours happened here. The electric factory. Underground tunnels, audacious and arrogant thieves, sad tales and other stories await.Read more”
