A ghost walk with props: a ghost hunter kit, a certificate of survival and a guide who takes the chapel of human bones and the haunted squares as seriously as the jokes, rated 4.92 across 750 reviews.

Kit, guide and the storytelling are included at €22 per person. A private after dark version exists, and it is not for small children.
