Loved it!

Van was a fantastic tour guide. He was friendly, thoughtful and made us feel comfortable. I loved the way his stories were grounded in factual information and the way he weaved history and true crime together.

Long Weekend

We were not sure what to expect, but the tour and expert information provided by the guide made the evening very enjoyable. Starting the tour while it was still light and eventually ending the evening in darkness just added to the experience as the crimes described also got darker with the night.
