Liz was a great story teller and tour guide, you can tell she knows her stuff. Loved the graveyard walk through and well worth the price.

Liz was amazing! She was the best tour guide. She was super personable, was an incredible storyteller, and really made it feel like we were back in the days of when the story was happening. You can tell she loves what she does and my wife and I had the best time. 10/10 recommend.
