We were a group of 3... - We were a group of 3 adults and 5 kids ages 10-12. Charlie did a great job at keeping us together and entertained with a mix of historical facts and stories. It was about the right length for us (4h tour). Queues not too bad given it was a busy summer Sunday and he did a good job of keeping us in the shade.

Great day! - Tour was very informative and we got to see a lot, although it lasted a lot longer than I was expecting. Charlie was great at getting us around the crowds and through the lines making sure we did not miss anything.
