Amazing, Historic and beautiful
The service from the members of staff who were at the bus stops was amazing. The bus drivers were bery friendly and waited for every to be seated and didnt just rush off. Then we had an amazing walking tour with our guide Jamsine. She was great, very friendly and had so much information for us in every part we stopped at. She really was a highlight of thr trip, thank you again Jasmin.
