Great Night History Tour - Tour was great. Sebastian was a great guide - he is very knowledgeable and entertaining too. Agree with others who have said it isn’t necessarily “dark” - more just a night history tour, but a great tour nonetheless.

Nice! - Very good guide on animation, very friendly, interesting city tour. However, for a “dark tour”, it was not scary stories
