Fun and unexpected - I really enjoyed this tour. Different from your typical city tour. All cities have a dark side and it was a good change from the regular history tour to experience this one. Our tour guide was excellent and made us laugh and had our jaws dropping at the interesting stories. .

Low attendance = Cancel or € 15 per person - They cancelled when we were at the meeting point due to a lack of attendance and a request minimimal amount of € 15 per person. This was super disappointing.
