Twisted History with a Side of Humor

Our tour guide Andrea was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the dark history of the city.

Great tour but avoid if English is not your first language.

Great fun and lots of historic information. The guide talked REALLY fast. If I concentrated, I could follow, but I felt sorry for the folks in the group whose first language wasn't English. I'm sure they did not understand half of it.

History Brought to Life Through Great Storytelling

Our guide was so much fun—warm, funny, and really engaging. I especially loved that she told detailed stories that brought the history to life, rather than just rattling off names and dates. It felt much more like great storytelling than a history lesson, and made the tour memorable. Highly recommend!

Christa — she’s the best!

Christa gracefully navigated difficult moments and really led our group well. We left with laughter, stories, and more education than I got from the local high school football coach!
