Great experience

Archis_B, Sep 2024

It was a great experience. It was just me and my girlfriend on the tour, So it felt like a private tour. The tour guide Manuel was amazing.

History not ghost experience

Suzanne_R, Jun 2023

Our Guide Alex was super nice and well versed in the history of the area. Kudos to him. It didn’t however have much to do with ghosts. A 2 hr tour turned into 2.5 hrs. Felt it was long. Family was a bit bored.

Nice experience

It was rubbish, we were at the appointed start point at the correct time but the tour had been cancelled and no one had bothered to tell us.
