We had a superb experience with a knowledgeable guide who was also great fun and told some super stories The age range of our group was 28 to 93 and all found it really pleasurable and informative. Top marks all round . Accessibility was critical as we had a wheelchair in tow and the skip the queue experience was hassle free . Would definitely recommend .
