Luka excellent guide - Luka was a very natural and entertaining guide. He knew his history and it was very enjoyable experience. I am a medium and received a visitation from the lady of the plague house the day before whilst having lunch.. all I could hear was a lady screaming in the street, whilst a horse and cart was going by. It was noticeable she was referencing a hanging square.. which I thought was the main square. She was actually referencing something else later on the next day.. amediumnamednickk #ticktok
