Informative and interesting

Only 3 of us inc tour guide. Bitterly cold so felt alittle rushed but very informative and interesting facts. Would have enjoyed more with a slightly bigger group but still nice to have that more secluded feel.

Operator response

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you had fun on the tour, despite it being a more intimate group. We hope you're able to join us for another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit!
