Where do the tours meet?

Tour meeting locations are provided upon registration, since they may vary. You should receive a confirmation e-mail with all the relevant details. We strive to meet in an easy-to-find public location central to the tour route with nearby public parking.

How long are tours?

Tours generally range from around an hour to an hour-and-a-half. Special tours may be longer.

Do you offer private tours?

Yes. See HERE.

Are tours appropriate for all ages?

Some of our tours feature adult-themed topics (Sin and Gin – sex) or potentially “scary” topics (Gore & Lore – violence/death) and as such parental guidance is recommended - we welcome older kids who are interested and accompanied by parents who are okay with it!

Some tours feature optional 21+ beverages at the end.

Other tours are suitable for all-ages and we can accommodate smaller children without charge. See HERE.

Anyone disrupting tours whether child or adult will be asked to control themselves or leave the tour.

Private tours are great for those needing more flexibility for including children, as they can be readily tailored to your family’s needs.

Are Gore and Lore Tours scary?

That depends on the person! There are no jump-scares, and we have yet to encounter any ghosts while on the tours. The subject matter on these tours does involve true-crime stories that can be graphic and gory, as well as spooky tales of ghosts and the like that may not be suitable for children and those sensitive to such topics. Despite the subject matter, we try to keep it upbeat – bring your darkest sense of humor. Feel free to contact us for further details.

Where can I buy tickets?
