Had a fantastic time! So much much great stuff going on in such a small area. Finally got insied Poe's home. Definitely felt his presence!

I feel $25 is a bit steep for something that took less than 20 min to go through

The tour was different from the tour that I did several years ago. The tour I did several years ago started on time and it was an interactive and lively tour. I thought it would be similar and that is why I bought 3 tickets. I did notice afterward that in the fine print it states that it is a self-guided tour - but this could be communicated more clearly. The communication about the start time could also be better. The sign outside said that tours start at the top of the hour and the ticket gave a specific start time, but that is not the entry time. It was a queue of folks who had tickets and the entry times were staggered (for good reason - the house is small). You could instead state that entry times will be staggered and to line up outside at the time given on your ticket. I would not recommend doing this tour during the festival.
