Excellent tour and tour guide - Excellent tour with a great tour guide Jamie. Despite rain for the whole tour Jamie kept us all interested in the history and took us to some beautiful churches along the way and tried to shelter us as much as possible from the weather! Highly recommend this tour and Jamie.
