5.00What an amazing day, made even better by Peter our guide. A very knowledgeable and caring guide. Making sure all of us felt comfortable throughout the day. His local knowledge was next to none about factual information, mythological history and local folk legends. I would definitely recommend this tour and the lovely Peter to show you all the way. Thank you to Peter our amazing guide and Katie and Jamie whom were our friends for the day.
A remarkable trip
