Would highly recommend for an interesting evening walk

Tour guide was excellent. Very professional and unbiased with his knowledge. Dominic was excellent at delivering all of the information he’d gathered and enjoyed the fact he recommended books and podcasts for those interested in delving deeper into this mystery. Really enjoyed all the images he shared throughout the tour along with the information shared which helped put everything into context. I also thought it was very respectful when he asked us all to acknowledge (and rightly so) those poor women who were so terribly murdered during this time - his harmonica playing was an extra special touch. Would highly recommend.
