Guidekin's take

A short ghost walk through the darkest streets of the centre with dowsing rods in hand, murderers, witches and a finale at a square that saw thousands burned alive, in groups capped at fifteen.

Guide and rods are included at €29 per person, food and tips are not. Fully wheelchair accessible, and you get the guide's name and number beforehand.

In our comparison: #44 of 56 in Night Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
