Spooky, fun and cheap! - My husband and I decided last minute to do this for our date night and glad we did. Thomas was a hilarious tour guide, loved all of his dad jokes and pestering passerby’s! He was very knowledgeable, so be ready to ask some questions, even the dumb ones, he may know the answer! Maybe go on a less busy bar night if doing the strand tour, prevented us from walking more than he would have liked. Overall a really great tour nonetheless!
