Cool to see places that the general public can't see during the day. Tour guide J was Excellent and funny
We did the last tour of the night, which I would recommend. I was not scared at all, but the tour was very informative. I would eliminate kids for the last two tours of the night just because they slightly ruined the experience. I assume there are Halloween effects at that time. I was hoping for things to randomly “come to life”. All in all, a great experience. Megan was our tour guide. She was excellent.
Super interesting, we really enjoyed it Super professional guide
Way to go Lauren! You could tell she was well rehearsed in her ability to recount the stories of Fort Henry . She’s a great story teller.
Our guide, Peter, did a great job bringing the stories to life. We got to hear enough history of Fort Henry to satisfy my history-loving husband, while also not boring my younger daughter who was not initially enthusiastic about going since she had been there a few years ago on a school trip. We all enjoyed it and counted it as one of the highlights of our time in Kingston. There are some steep stairs and slippery spots along the tour, but everyone on our tour (wide range of ages) was able to manage it.
I guess it all depends on your tour guide maybe? The scariest thing, was in fact, our tour guide and not the tour. Look, I know some people get nervous speaking in public and he did ok when he stuck to the historic parts. But the failed attempts at humor were awkward and maybe before presenting ones self as a speaker would have looked in the mirror before rolling out of bed and into work that day? I'd save your $$
The tour was very informative and entertaining. Our tour guide, Savannah, did a great job of telling the stories and was very engaging. It’s not like a haunted house with characters jumping out at you which made it more enjoyable for those of us who do not like that.
We really enjoyed our August 25th tour of the Fort. Our guide was Isabella and she was excellent. She was animated and knowledgeable. The tour is well done, lots of interesting stories about the ghost sightings, history of the Fort.
Very interesting way to learn about the history of the Fort and their spirits. We had a really good guide to show us around and tell the stories.
Isabella was great! Very interesting and spooky tour. Not too long or too short, just the right length. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes as there can be steep stairs and slippery bits and a decent amount of walking. Definitely would recommend
