Our guide Kevin was extremely generous with both his time and considerable knowledge of this subject matter. Great effort was taken to ensure that the group was entertained and informed: our guide was good humoured and patient whilst navigating a crowded environment with a demanding group.

Kevin was brilliant! Very engaging and knowledgeable. We overran our 2 hour time and I was so engrossed I hadn't even noticed ��.<br />Would definitely book on any other tour that Kevin does. Thanks
