Tips & Advice

  • Arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get comfortable, as tours start promptly and late arrivals may miss the group.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers appropriate for the weather, as tours run rain or shine and involve 1.3 miles of walking.
  • While not explicitly scary, the tour covers dark and potentially disturbing historical topics, so consider this when bringing younger guests.
  • Tours do not include bathroom breaks or rest stops, so plan accordingly before the tour begins.
  • Consider tipping your guide if you enjoyed the tour; reviews on Google, Yelp, and Tripadvisor are also greatly appreciated.
