A plot twist

Published on May, 2025

The explanation was clear, and our guide spoke eloquently. With a short walk included, the session was both fun and thoroughly enjoyable.

Cool experience

Published on May, 2025

The guy from Jamaica (forgot his name) was really cool with a fun, dark humour based on the dark stories he told us and we had a great time, and even though the rain was trying to ruin it-she didn’t! A very nice tour!
