A top time with a top operator - We had a lovely personal tour with Sue. Her policy of keeping numbers to 6 or less ensures a quality day. We flitted between attractions and Sue changed the order as opportunities presented themselves. Sue was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and kept us entertained. The van was very comfortable and we felt safe in her hands. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to do some other tours with her in the future. I think we are exchanging Christmas cards she made us that welcome!
