Brilliant! Learnt a lot of history to do with the underground vaults. Not much walking. Would definitely recommend! The late night made it 10x scarier.
We had tour guide Amy and from start to finish she was engaging, funny, full of interesting facts and stories and gave an over all brilliant tour. Over the years we have done several ghost tours, some by guides who have been on paranormal documentaries on TV before and Amy was better than all of them. It was the best ghost tour me and my wife have been on. Would highly recommend, we loved it.
