My 15 yo daughter and I really enjoyed this tour. It is for mature audiences but I didn’t feel it was inappropriate for my daughter. Interesting details and information that we wouldn’t have gotten from another tour or on our own. Toni is a great guide, very knowledgeable and funny!

Toni was delightfully macabre with her tales and personifications. Her stories were intimate, chilling, educational, and entertaining. Highly recommended for those who need no filter with their history lessons.
