Great evening - Elena was fabulous, she was a great story teller throughout the evening. Included everyone and kept everyone's attention from the teens to the older. Would recommend for those interested in the dark history that occurred throughout the past. Both boys (14 & 18) enjoyed and said 5 stars.

Pretty Dark Stuff But Fascinating Tour - This was a fantastic tour but make no mistake, as the name suggests, there is some pretty dark stuff. Be prepared, but if you are a history nut this tour is for you. Our guide was fantastic, funny, energetic, and full of knowledge. She did an excellent job of involving everyone in the tour as well. I am ashamed to say after a long vacation her name has escaped me but the tour was the night of 5/26/25 if that helps her get credit for her excellent job.

Fun way to learn local history - A super interesting tour that takes you through (as promised) darker chapters of local history. Our guide Elena was funny and engaging, full of interesting facts, and made the history come alive. It was a total pleasure.
