Don’t miss this, it was a highlight! - Joe was just an amazing storyteller! Two hours flew by, it was all so informative and entertaining. We weren’t sure what to expect but it was a perfect combination of history and some chilling stories. We learned so much more about the history Budapest than we would have imagined.
