5.00This was a great experience well worth the money. Tommy Terrible is an excellent storyteller, and it was never boring! I love grim history, bus rides and great stories, and this delivered on all. It was the perfect amount of scary and the performance of both the tour guide and the driver were great. If Tommy is ever lending his voice to an audiobook - I am buying the book. Thumbs up from Norway!
A must see
