“My 10 yo son and I really enjoyed this tour. We walked around and saw many things that you wouldn’t see otherwise. Out tour guide Peter told us a lot of ghost stories and trivia about the town, he showed us details that you wouldn’t notice just walking around. I would really recommend this tour to families with young children. Peter was friendly and engaging and asked Jack a lot of questions about history and literature, and my son was really proud to be able to answer many of them!”
