Amazing and One Of A Kind True Crime Tour!

This tour exceeded all my expectations! I was the only participant, and Joe was so kind to still go ahead with it — even tailoring parts of the experience just for me. It was a fantastic walk, and I learned so much! Highly recommend to anyone interested in Hungarian history, looking to learn something new, and true crime fans, or course.

5/5. Joe is energetic and really well put in English. A bit cold since it takes two hours, but a great way to see the city at night
