Fun, thoughtful, inclusive - We had a wonderful evening. Lisa was a great guide. She kept us interested the whole time. It was a fun new way to experience Madison. She was very thoughtful to make sure everyone in the tour was able to hear and get the same experience. My mother is currently wheelchair bound and the whole tour was accessible and Lisa went out of her way to check in on us and make sure we were able to get to everything. Would highly recommend!

Spooky History filled your with ghouls and laughs - If you’re looking for an amazing funny, scary, and a history filled ghostly tour this is the one for you. Lisa our tour guide did an amazing job at story telling and giving a life to the “dead” all while mixing in history of madison and the greater wisconsin area. A great way to get to know the city and its ghosts. Would recommend for anyone with older kids pre teen and up, just because of the content may be not suited for younger children. Lisa is amazing at capturing an audience and telling a story!

Very informative! - Frank Lloyd Wright's story and all the folklore and history of the buildings. It was a great time and Maddie was the best tour guide! She was informed, articulate, enthusiastic, engaging and entertaining!

Entertaining tour - The highlight of this tour was Lisa, the tour guide. She was entertaining, engaging, and made the tour interesting for a range of ages from 9-70+. The entire group was just over 20 people (3 in our family group, including easily bored tweens) and she moved us around Madison easily. We could always hear what she was saying, she had interesting stories, and we all really enjoyed it (even though it was unseasonably cold). I would highly recommend taking this tour, or any tour from Lisa.
