Most chilling few hours I've ever spent.
I booked a private tour with this company for myself and a few friends. We chose this company as it looked the most profesional and as lovers of history and spookiesness we though this would have a good mix of the two. We were right. Our Guide was Mackenzie and she was fantastic, very knowelagble and answered every question we had, she even had a few stories about some of the buildings we pointed out on route to the next planned stop on the tour. The stories she told where incredible, very engaging with seeminlgy the perfect mix of humour and chills. The tour is clearly very well reasurched and I would guess, from how she told certain stories, Mackenzie has painstakingly done that research herself.
