Lovely having you along!
Dom was a GREAT tour guide as part of Secrettours. He was very knowledgeable and took excellent care of us. The food was delicious!
We very much enjoyed this tour (even with the rain). Nick is quite knowledgeable about the areas we visited. We learned a lot. The food choices were varied and tasty. The walking was easy. There were not too many spots to have a quick sit, which toward the end of the tour would have been nice. I would definitely recommend Nick and this tour to visitors.
