| Pleasent weather made it a nice walk on Halloween night. The event lacked "drama" as the guide simply stood and delivered a speech.
It would have been better had they added tales of burying dead in basements during the winter months, etc. Practical during their time, and captivating stories for current times. I had done the tour once a few years ago, this time there were less stops. The tour would be interesting for those not from this area, but I would not do it again. |

| From the beginning, our tour guide had us hanging on every word. She drew you into the story even though we remained outside the buildings. There were more stops and stories than we expected. We covered a lot of the historic district, never knowing there were so many spooky happenings at every turn. I would not recommend the tour for very young children (8 or under) as the stories are more adult in nature. We plan to return to the sites and do some investigative work on our own. Great fun! |

| We did this tour pre-Halloween to get in the mood. It was not too scary for my children
(ages 9 and 11). There were references to prostitution, mostly euphemistically, but the word "prostitute" was used. It seemed to go over my children's heads. At least they didn't ask any questions or mention it later. I thought it was enjoyable and learned a little bit of local social history. The guide was smooth, a practiced storyteller. |

| I didn't go as it was raining sideways and terribly windy last saturday. I couldn't do 90 minutes in that weather. Sad to lose $36.00! |

| Our tour guide was a great story teller! We took our 9 year old and he was so into it, and has continued to talk about it. It was great learning the history on some of the place, just a great night! |

| Good stories but overall probably not worth the entrance fee. Kids enjoyed more than parents. |

| Very enjoyable, a bit creepy (as expected) and quite educational. Who would've guessed that buttoned-down Annapolis had such a sordid past?! |

| The tour is great for both believers and nonbelievers. Great history on Annapolis and awsome ghost stories. Can't wait to do the pub crawl next. |

| Overall, I enjoyed the history of the tour and the tour itself. However, at the end of the tour, I could not hear the last 2 stories at all, and I was very disappointed by that. I know there is traffic and people on Main Street, so I recommend either a microphone for the guide or individual headsets for people on the tour so that we can hear our guide. Other than that, the tour was great, but I was extremely disappointed with the end of the tour. |

| We are a group of teens that decided to try this tour. It was interesting and we had a fun time. The guide was a very good story teller. |
