The ghost walk in Bayfield was great. We learned a lot about Bayfield and the history about Bayfield. The storyteller was great. She made you feel like you were part of the story. I would really like to take the cemetery walk next time when we are in Bayfield. More

My dad and I took the Ghost tour in Bayfield, WI and we were wonderfully surprised. It was cold and rainy- and figured it would not be fun walking in the rain. We decided to take the adventure anyways and we loved it! Our guide Sarah was fantastic and kept us entertained the whole time. I didn't realize we were... More

Our tour guide was informative and entertaining. Really made it fun for all ages. We learned some great history on Bayfield and saw some pretty cool homes. This is a walking tour with some hills and cobblestone streets , but keeping up was not difficult. More

Our family loved the Haunted Bayfield tour. Our children, ages 10 and 8, particularly enjoyed the walk around town holding candle lanterns. It was a great blending of local history and possible real ghost sightings. Every town has its ghost stories, and this tour makes them fun and interactive. My daughter says "OMG! I loved it!" And my son says... More

My husband and I went on the Architecture tour with "Sven" and he was great! We learned a great deal about the history of the area and the buildings in the town today. "Sven" was very knowledgable and open to questions and new information. He was a great guide and we had a great walk. More

The tour combined a short (maybe 1 mile) walk around parts of downtown Bayfield as well as some intermittent storytelling. There are short stops along the way where the guide told some historic facts and ghost stories, making this walk easy enough for the small children in the group. There are steepish hills though so take that into account. If... More

Our host would not remove her character from the tour til after we were done. She gave an excellent presentation of the early life of Bayfield which helped to explain its development as well as what everyday life was like during its development. She incorporated the guests interests into the tour. Talented enough to walk backward while giving the tour... More

Virginia Hirsch has thoroughly researched the local haunted lore and "ghostly" history of a truly magical Wisconsin city and created a truly memorable live-action experience. Everyone in the family from toddlers in strollers, able-bodied ambulatory adults to the completely wheelchair bound can (and will) enjoy and be easily able to navigate the chosen route. The period-costumed tour guides have a... More

My wife and I went on the ghost tour and had a great time. Virginia, the woman who runs these tours is great. She certainly gets into her role and makes the tour a lot of fun. A wonderful setting to learn about some Bayfield history! More
