We have done a number of tours like this in different cities and have always found them a fun way to learn about the city. The tour started late and seemed unorganized and provided little history.. The guide was so concerned with being dramatic that the history/story was scattered and hard to follow.

This guided walking tour was well worth the money. Our tour guide Elvira was funny and knowledgeable, a great storyteller. And she was very patient with my granddaughter's many questions! We learned about the history of the city, including the macabre parts. Lots of fun!
