My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour, which was full of interesting tidbits and historical facts. Megan was very entertaining, and the crowd size and length of the tour were just right. Well worth the fee and highly recommended!

Place was clean and comfortable. Other tennants were loud and the walls are thin. It is dark at night but a really neat place in the daylight.
