What an amazing experience. Our guide Louisa really made the difference! She was insightful, engaging, informative and personable. She really elevated our experience and you could see how passionate she was. Would definitely go again!
Louisa out tour guide was excellent, she was very knowledgeable, friendly, speaking loud and clear was very helpful too. My kids loved it and commented how funny she was and the best guide! Prices were very expensive for a family, over £100, and there are other tours with reduced costs, something to consider, overall experience thanks to Louisa was very enjoyable! Simon and Hannah ☘️
