    Although we booked a later trip we were brought forward to an early trip as explained in the pre-booking blurb. Details on pick up were clear to the point we had vehicle colour, registration and driver's name in advance of the pick up. All worked well.

    Only thing stopping an excellent is ths speed you go through. I understand thousands of people go through every day, but it would have been nice to take a bit more in a bit more stock of the feeling of the place. The tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Apart from the fast pace it was.

    The guide was so informative and professional. And we felt that he helped us to understand better. The tour bus lady was lovely she made us feel that we could ask her anything. The packed lunch was perfect. Thankyou.
