Fantastic Tour! - My husband and I loved this tour! Chris was extremely knowledgeable and we learned quite a few new and very interesting things, even though we're local to the Cinci area. He was a great host - would highly recommend taking this tour if you love history with a big splash of spooky! The tour is about two hours, and lots of walking but nothing overly difficult - uneven sidewalks in some spots are the biggest challenge. The tour takes place in an area of Covington with big beautiful historic waterfront mansions as well as several other points of interest, and ends at Molly Malones. I lived in covington myself for several years in my 20's and had no idea this beautiful neighborhood existed. The sightseeing alone was worth it for me, everything else was a bonus! Take this tour, you won't regret it! We might even do it again and take some friends along!

Ghosts throughout Covington History - My wife and I had a great time on this tour. The guide was knowledgeable and totally into the history of Covington and the ghosts throughout. He did his homework by researching in the local library and interviewed the current residence of the haunted buildings. I would recommend this to anyone interested in local history and real ghosts.

Covington’s Best Ghost & History Tour - Chris was such an engaging and knowledgeable guide on the history of Covington! We’re not from the area, so having a guide who could elaborate a bit more made the tour truly fascinating. The ghost stories he tells makes you want to learn more, and discover more of Covington’s history. We really enjoyed our evening with Chris, and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn history and the ghost stories of Covington. Be sure to bring good walking shoes!

Excellent and knowledgeable - Excellent tour. Very knowledgeable. Just list in “need to know before you go” how long tour is and how many miles walked. This is valuable information that I did not know ahead of time

The tour was enjoyable - The info doesn’t say it’s a 2 mile walk, and interesting facts could be shared during the walk between stops, missed fireworks if asked if we wanted to finish tour or watch the fireworks we would have chosen the fireworks
