“A little bit of fun. Not particularly scary but the historical aspects were quite interesting. It was just the two of us on this tour (me and a 10 year old), so it was a bit quiet at times. I’m sure there would be a better atmosphere with more people. The guide did adjust his language and tour to suit my child, avoiding the red light district which I appreciated.”
