Excellent walking tour led by Candice. Walked by several buildings and statues that have significant history and ghost haunting stories. She keeps her info up to date by speaking to several people around town who work in these buildings.
Candice was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city and buildings that were haunted as well as a great storyteller. If you are looking for a fun, but super informational and a little spooky experience this is the company for you!
The tour guide was super knowledgeable and not only did we get to hear ‘spooky stories,’ we learned a TON about Grand Rapids. Highly recommend. Next time I’m back in town I am going to do this again and choose a beer and history tour. Lots of fun!
Candice was punctual, very knowledgeable, and she just made the tour so much fun! She was upbeat, smiling constantly, and made sure to accommodate everyone in the group. My husband and I both learned so much history about Grand Rapids, as well as many super cool ghost stories about buildings downtown.
Having lived in GR for thirty years, I learned more about the city than I ever thought possible! Both my Son and I enjoyed the history lesson and found the stories of spirits that exist in buildings around GR to be fascinating.
