5.00We thoroughly enjoyed Emils’ cemetery and ghost tour. It was a fascinating and unique experience, combining local history, legends, and storytelling in a really engaging way. Emils was an excellent guide — knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining throughout the tour. We also appreciated how approachable and friendly Emils was, answering questions and making everyone feel welcome. Even giving suggestions for where we could eat and drink after the tour where only locals attend. A fantastic tour that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for something a little different and memorable. Thank you Emils we really enjoyed our experience.
