It was fun but wished there was a bit more history and context and a bit less gore. It was fun though!

Our tour was absolutely SUPERB! The nuanced acting and sumptuous storytelling of our guide, Domenica, made this experience truly one for the ages. Domenica was sweet and engaging and so very committed to the storytelling. She was the perfect person to tell us all about the gruesome accounts of what occurred on these streets. Domenica took care of a huge group; felt like a couple of dozen of us. Throughout the entirety of our walk, not one single person in our group was bored or inattentive. We all hung on every word she said, and we were enraptured by every contortion of her body that she made to illustrate her story. We have been on many of these types of walks when we travel, but we have never encountered such a rich and complete experience. Domenica held our attention from the first moment to the last and left my family wanting more. Her storytelling was simply masterful.
