Nice little Death tour.
I like these walking tours because it gives you the darker side of the place you’re staying. It was interesting with a little macabre thrown in. Worth the walk around.

Great tour. Bettina...
Great tour. Bettina really brought the legend to life. Made all the more better by experiencing the sights & sounds of the streets as they are now (and then).
