My fiancée and I had a wonderful time. Spooky Sue was an excellent guide; that was extremely informative. Thank you! Captivating stories.
Wonderful! I had Spooky Sue as my guide. I highly recommend.
We had the pleasure of having Spooky Sue for our tour guide. Not only did she share cool/spooky stories but she also shared a ton of historical facts. Sue had a great vibe and was fun to be around. Highly recommend! Spooky Sue was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her work! We learned so much and the hour just flew by! I highly recommend this tour for others to take and hope that Sue is their tour guide!
I loved every single minute of the tour. Spooky Sue was very knowledgeable about Atlantic City, she lived here her whole life and we really learned a lot about Atlantic city history. I’m very happy that I was able to make this tour. We had a blast. The bonus extended tour is a must. Seeing our rented EMF detectors flashing red at the haunted locations was really cool also
