Joe is a fantastic story teller - Joe was the perfect guide/ story teller. We book tours not only for the information but more so how it is presented. His animated, enthusiastic style made the tour captivating and interesting the whole time. Despite a long day and being tired (tour started at 8pm) Joe kept us awake and alert with his story telling. We're booking the True Crimes tour with Joe right now.

Funny visit with Joe - A great visit with Joe, who captivated us from start to finish. Perfect storytelling, a sense of humor and little fun facts that make the visit dynamic. The setting and the visit at 8pm reinforce the magic of the visit. An original visit and a must do for fans of history and horror:)

A great evening activity! - Joe was super helpful with our booking, due to illness we had to rearrange our tour and so glad we did so. The walk wasn’t too long and was quite flat which was a relief. We learnt all about famous bloodthirsty figures in Hungary and Joe was a great storyteller. It’s a shame we’re back to England today otherwise we would’ve joined another tour of his!

BloodThirsty Hungary – Castle District Tour with Joe - We had the pleasure of experiencing this impressive tour on Friday the 13th – an unforgettable evening! Joe has presented the historical narratives about the defense of Hungary and the origin of the Dracula myth with extraordinary passion and depth. His performance was a real highlight culturally and in terms of content – like an open-air play in original locations. Each story seemed alive and authentic. You could feel that not only facts were conveyed here, but a real experience was created. Even a price twice as high would still be justified for this quality. Joe, you did a really great job – thank you for this special evening!

An all around incredible time, smooth and accessible, no faults :) - Just finished this tour with Joe about an hour ago and it was amazing. Joe was very knowledgeable and was able to explain that knowledge in a smooth and understandable way. He also took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable, finding places to sit and even offering am umbrella when it started to rain. Joe was also absolutely lovely to talk to, very personable and again presented all his facts and information incredibly well. Would highly recommend.
