My husband and I booked a daytime tour and we were not disappointed! Almost 2 hours for $14 is a great deal. Our guide was very interesting and friendly and had a lot of good info to share. They even had a small gift shop where we could get some souvenirs (something I always enjoy). We got some good pics too. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend to others!

Our guide, Lee was absolutely the best tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure to have. Knowledgeable, answered any and all questions asked and had a very pleasant and funny personality. I was very impressed with his skill. We also went to another place afterwards and the tour guide was good but not close to Lee’s ability. He’s a class act

We went on the north gate paranormal tour which was a flashlight 45 minute tour. First, they were short handed with guides so they added more people to our tour which unfortunately included about four seemingly drunk teenage girls who were loud and obnoxious the whole time . Secondly because our guide had to do more tours he had to rush through ours . They can't promise any paranormal activity which wasn't going to happen with the rude girls on our tour - can't pick your group but this is just ow society is now - no respect for others . The tour was informative but felt rushed ... disappointed we didn't experience anything although there are some strange images on some of my photos.. it was a fun experience for the most part.

I just took the tour today with Tina. She was amazing! Unfortunately, she had a little laryngitis, but that didn’t stop her one bit. She was knowledgeable and funny, an excellent tour guide! The tour was great and I learned a lot, definitely recommend!!

This was very interesting! Our guide had laryngitis, poor thing! She was very sweet and did her best, but some of it was really difficult to understand. She did a good job. It was fascinating to see this ancient building and hear some stories from the past. I want to find some literature and read more about it. Piqued my interest!

Excellent tour of this historic prison with lots of good history and showing how miserable the conditions were (which is why it closed). The tour guide was informative and engaging. My only slightly negative comment is that it was extremely HOT (it is July I know) but it seems like the addition of several large floor fans could make a world of difference for the guests and guides. I highly recommend going on the tour but not in the summer unless they add some fans to at least keep the air moving,

While the West Virginia State Penitentiary may not be your typical vacation spot, it definitely provided a one-of-a-kind experience. Greg, our guide, was a real character - he knew all the best hiding spots and escape routes (just kidding... maybe). The only downside was the constant aroma of musty old prison cells - it really added to the authenticity of the experience, but a scented candle wouldn't have hurt. Overall, a memorable trip that I'll be sure to share with all my friends...assuming I ever get out of here. Just kidding best experience

FANTASTIC tour on a beautiful August afternoon! First time taking my Grandmother and she absolutely adored the entire experience. This place has never disappointed me, not once. Big shoutout to the wonderful tours guides (especially YOU JAY) and to the undead friends that followed us from time to time. 💀🖤💯👏🎉
