So what's Earl Grey famous for? - Great tour. We were the only ones booked so pleased the tour did not require a minimum number to go ahead. Josh our guide was excellent, full of knowledge and humour. A brilliant way to get to know the city and the history behind it. So much would have passed us by without the tour. Highly recommended.
