I had never done a private tour before but this was great. David was very informative and gave us great insight on everything. We had a little bit of extra time so he stayed with us and continued the tour off the script!!! Definitely recommend David !!!
Great tour. Guide was knowledgeable and we learned a lot. He was funny and very personable.
Our guide Amanda was incredible there was nothing she didn't know and having her to ourselves was a great way to take it all in. Amanda really tailoured our time and was so engaging, the best tour and guide we have done! Thanks Amanda
