    Our tour guide was amazing! Her knowledge was very good and she answered all of the groups questions. She kept us in the shade as it was the hottest day of the year. I would say certain sections of the tour were a little rushed. I appreciate there is a time scale that needs keeping to but a little more time to read some of the information around the site would have been better.

    Hi, I had a very good guide Tom. He was enthusiastic, helpful and friendly. The only minus was that it was a bit difficult to find the meet up point. The address you had given in the email directed me to the wrong place. And the email did not mention that we would meet up in front of Starbucks.
