“Claire was our guide and she was lovely - everything was poised and she presented really well. The tales themselves are less gory/spooky (save one) but more historical tales of ghosts that deal with the city. The only thing I would suggest is either a louder mic for the presenter or earpieces for the guests, as it was a sizeable group and at times difficult to hear. If you have a free night before/after drinks, I think it's worth it.”
