Excellent, enjoyable and informative trip. The landmarks included are well documented so you know what you’re getting. We were fortunate to have fantastic weather which made the sight seeing even more enjoyable. The guide, Martin, was delightful, humorous, very polite and welcoming. A great way to see the sights in a 3 hour window.
