This tour was amazing! Ivan was a great and knowledgeable guide. Be prepared for a lot of walking. So worth it to be in the areas where the murders occurred. I highly recommend this tour!

Informative but Exhausting and Poorly Guided

The guide was highly knowledgeable and clearly knew his history. However, the tour itself felt quite onerous and physically taxing after a while. My biggest complaint is the ending: the guide left us in an unfamiliar area without any direction. Better communication about the final stop or guidance back to the station would have made a huge difference.
