“Tour barely last an hour. 1st bar was crowded so we stood outside. 2nd bar we couldn't go to, tour company was kicked out 2 months ago according to the guide, they did have a replacement bar. 3rd bar was closed. Only went to the last bar. Tour is barely half of what is offered in the itinerary - would not recommend, not worth the money, big rip off!”

Hear ghost stories in the underground market, visit dark hallways and an Irish pub in a former mortuary, and enjoy drinks purchased along the way.
