The tour runs 90 minutes and welcomes children from age 1, friendly dogs, and service animals.Is it for me?Choose this if you want a guide narrating paranormal history as you walk together through cobblestone streets, rather than a self-guided app or solo exploration.

The exterior-only format and 75-minute pace work well for walkers who prefer to move through the neighborhood rather than spend extended time inside buildings, and for anyone traveling with infants or small children in a stroller.

The tour runs about two hours and adapts to mobility needs when you mention them at booking.Is it for me?The fixed two-hour window means you can fit this into a free afternoon or a morning before other plans—the guide handles the pacing and the history, so you're not building the day yourself or rushing between stops on a schedule that doesn't match your energy.
