Is the Twisted History Tour appropriate for Children?
There will be stories about murder, but I do not go into gory detail. There are quick mentions of prostitutes and other things like that. We have had many kids on the tour and no one has been upset that they took their kids - it is completely a a personal choice. We do request for the enjoyment of others that if the kiddos are being noisy or unruly you would step away for a moment while they settled down.
Is this a ghost/haunted tour?
Unfortunately in all my research, I could not find one ghost haunting downtown Eagle River. There are stories about murder, bank robberies, and fires, but none specifically about ghosts in Eagle River.
Do you accept checks or credit card?
At this time, I only accept cash, venmo and zelle. Cash is preferred. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Does the tour happen rain or shine?
If it is pouring rain outside, I don’t think you or I want to be standing outside getting soaked. I will contact you an hour before the tour if the weather looks like it won’t cooperate for our tour and I will try and reschedule your tour for another time.
Can I take pictures on the tour?
Yes, but please no video recording.
Where should I stay in Eagle River?
Check out Eagle River’s Last Resort – they have 8 cabins on Otter Lake – part of the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. The cabins are well equipped, clean, and the grounds are well maintained.
What is the cut off time for reservations? Participant Minimum?
There really isn't a cut off time - we'd prefer if you'd make a reservation at least 8 hours prior to the tour. If there is already a tour going, we can accomodate last minute bookings, but if a tour isn't reserved by 5 PM on the day of, we typically cancel the tour. Feel free to text or call to confirm. To ensure the best experience, our tours require a minimum of four participants to proceed. However, your group doesn’t need to have four people—we simply need at least four guests signed up for the tour to take place. If your group is smaller, don't worry; we’ll combine you with others to meet the minimum.
What else is there to do in Eagle River?
At the end of the tour, you receive a map with suggestion of things to do. A few of my favorites are Northwoods Escape Room and Pirates Hideaway.
