5.00Wonderful time visiting the highlights of the area. George provided much information about the area, history and interesting stories. The fish and chips included were absolutely delicious. We loved having a small group instead of a large bus full. It was a great excursion from start to finish. We would highly recommend this tour to all.
George was a wonderful storyteller. The lunch was superb. Saw so much of the island. I highly recommend this tour
