Ein wirklich toller Spaziergang mit sehr vielen spannenden Geschichten und Informationen. Unsere Erzählerin hatte eine beeindruckende Ausstrahlung und hat die Mystik der Insel gut rübergebracht. Wir haben viel gelernt und Orte gesehen, die wir sonst nicht gefunden hätten. Mehr als 50€ pro Person fand ich für dieses Event allerdings zu teuer.

This was such a fun tour. Johanna was super knowledgeable and was telling us about all kinds of history (including cat related folklore) while we looked for the cats. The cafe was also super cute and the pastry was delicious!
