Nothing wrong with the tour guide but the material she had to work with was pretty weak. We bowed out with 39 minutes left in the tour. It was too cold outside to enjoy mediocre “ghost” stories.
Great experience

Ingeborg was a wonderful guide. She was knowledgeable and made the tour fun and interesting. She had personal experiences to add to the historical facts too. I recommend this tour! It’s a little bit of hilly walking but not bad. It’s stop and go so you have time to catch your breath if you need to or have some mobility limitations.
Do It!
