“Don't walk, run to this tour. If Tudor is your guide, it's your lucky day. The tour was definitely worth the price. The stories were unique, and Tudor didn't just tell us a story. He discussed with us, asked for our thoughts, and answered any questions. He was fun and engaging, and he definitely managed to creep us out with the stories, more than once. I would definitely recommend this tour, if you want to spend a fun and interesting evening learning about tradition and local folklore.”
