Everything was so well organised, staff were lovely and the trip overall was fantastic. At no point did it feel like we were rushing from place to place. Wonderful experience.

Excellent tour and was especially nice to be in cool location on a very hot day. The tour included a great deal of detail and was too long for my taste. An hour less would be perfect. Involved a lot of on your feet time for a senior citizen.
