Overall Value and Practical Considerations

For $50, this tour offers more than just a ghost story. The combination of history, food, and interactive paranormal investigation provides excellent value. The small group size (max 15) ensures a more intimate experience, allowing for personalized attention and easier interaction with the guide.

Also, the long wait for food during busy times can be a minor inconvenience, so bringing a jacket might help if the restaurant is cold when crowded.
