Candice is very knowledgeable about the history of GR as well as the ghosts lives.It was an experience I will be talking about for awhile and as a person with a disability, I appreciated the care, thoughtfulness and ease that the tour was, the bonus being the experience was more special with just a small group (us). If you like history and a little mystery, definitely try this walking tour out. You won't be disappointed!(opens in a new tab) Rachelle Leach8/30/2026
