We had a really good time. It poured down rain but out guide was really awesome and kept on going. He did try to find us shelter out of the rain under trees and such. We all made it and enjoyed the stories.

Fun was to get some behind the scenes information and walk around "downtown". Slow paced and easy walk - and not scary, so perfect for all ages. Might be scarier in the dark, but we did the 7pm tour, I have done 2 other tours with this company and they all had different guides and were in slight different locations.
