I truly loved this tour. Sometimes its difficult to find a night tour that's interesting enough to capture my attention because the sights are usually closed, but Viktoria was amazing and knowledgeable. She came prepared with historical facts, Ghost stories and hand warmers! 10/10 would recommend

There were too many people on the tour. You need to limit the # Or provide headsets. The headset she used was very scratchy. Whenever she moved or turned her head you couldn’t hear. We gave up and ended up leaving 20 minutes into the tour.
Emily was fantastic! Her knowledge and energy made the tour as great as it was!
