Great tour but crowded

Very informative tour, the tour guide was very knowledgeable on mob stories and ghost stories. Great sites to stop and get pictures. My only negative comment is that the group was too many people. Our group had 25 people and walking around busy streets and trying to listen to the guide but still social distance was hard to do. I think 10 people would have been better

Kai our tour guide really knew her stuff and was an entertaining and energetic guide. I loved the mix of crime stories and architectural history. The price and time matched the experience. I would call this more of a historical tour than a ghost tour.
