GUEST REVIEWS

  • Lisa, our guide, was both lovely and spooky. She dressed the part and her knowledge of the area, both in knowing others in the Madison area, and with her own experiences, was outstanding. I have lived in the Downtown Madison area for almost 10 years, and I got a fresh historical perspective on the King St. area.

  • It was fun, informative, and entertaining. The guide was knowledgeable, funny, and did a wonderful job. I won't forget my first ghost walk thanks to him.

  • My husband and I had a wonderful time touring the town, learning the spooky history of the town. We’ve lived here for about 8 months and wanted to get to know Red Wing on a deeper level. Our host was interesting and pretty knowledgeable.
