Leonardo is an great guide

Had a great time during the tour. It was fun and quite interesting.

Lara Demmler · October 2026

Historical tales with a gory and goulish twist

Leonardo was great in his tour, well spoken and informative and quite humorous as well. Now we know more history than we bargained for and further, albeit darker, knowledge of some of histories’ less advertised tales of chaos and cruelty.

Incredible tour woth the best guide

Hands down the best tour ive had so far, Tamara is wickedly funny and smart and made the otherise spooky and dark theme of the tour delightful. Learned a lot and had an overall great time, the tour flew by so fast, could not recomment enough.

Sara Almansba · October 2026

Fun, interesting, informative! Loved it!

The tour was full of fascinating and obscure history! Our guide, Tamara was so good! It began thunderstorming and downpouring rain about 10 minutes into our tour. Tamara gave us the option to end the tour or continue through the bad weather. We all had umbrellas and we were all so intrigued by the stories already, we wanted to continue and Tamara just kept on going like a champ! The weather actually added a really cool ambiance to the creepiness of the ghost tour! Loved it so much! 10 out of 10!
