Was sitting on the fence a bit about going on this tour but really glad I went. It’s not really a ghost hunting tour but just taking us to various locations in proximity to the old town square and sharing some spooky stories about these landmarks. Our tour guide Allen was excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic about the stories he was telling us which made it more interesting and kudos for carrying on with one of these stories despite some drunk locals shouting away in the background but it is what is it! Just one thing to bear in mind, it said the tour lasts for 1.5 hours but it was closer to 2, maybe even 2.5 so just a thing if your fitting this in to a busy evening but for me it was fine. If you believe in ghosts or skeptical it’s really worth going on the tour just to see some hidden locations and some history about the town.B3240JYjohnl

Fun and interesting. Carl was very lively, welcoming, and affable. Seeing the Old Town literally in a different light was great. No corny tricks or illusions, but background, and histories of sightings

The tour was informative, well organised and paced. Great to hear about local history with a spooky twist.
