Best tour guide I’ve ever had - The tour guide, Mick, was phenomenal. He had incredible knowledge of tour material and everything we asked about other landmarks and events. And he was entertaining- it is clearly a passion and not just a job. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, even in the rain, and couldn’t believe the two hours went so quickly.
