90 mins was a nice amount of time - long enough to see many of the interesting places within GCT and hear good stories relating to its history & evolution. Longer than 90 mins could have been too long… going outside to see & hear additional information was also valuable. It was a most enjoyable tour yesterday with James H.

Great friendly tour guide, loved the mic’s we wore to hear him (not like the giant headset Mic’s some tour guides use) they were very discreet. Clearly enjoyed his job. :)
