Joe was friendly, kind and an amazing story teller. He knew how to keep the audience captivated and together, since it was a walking tour, and he even made telling ghost / vampire stories funny. The only thing I would do differently is end with Dracula and then with his amazing summary linking all the stories to present day. In any case, it was really great and for those who like to be told stories, this was definitely a hit! It was a unique activity on our itinerary.
