Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed the fun filled, slightly ghoulish Little Peasant’s Walking tour with our 6 and 9 year olds. Our guides were knowledgeable and thoroughly entertaining, a brilliant way to see the city and learn some of its spooky and gruesome history without being totally terrified. Brilliant!
