Tour Testimonials

Thank you very much for an outstanding tour. This was the most enjoyable 3 hours for Claire and I. I would have paid $75.00 per ticket if that's what the cost had been. We will be telling everyone about this tour in the hope that others we know will book for a future date. We may even take this tour again because it is so enjoyable and we can relate to everything.
