5.00Booking was easy. Communication was very good. I usually get lost but the directions given to us was spot on and I didn’t have to go on the “adventure route” to get there. Parking was free at the community centre. Ant, our guide on the tour was fab. We went as a couple but there were children in the group that also enjoyed the experience. It rained for most of the time but we still had a great day. We loved it. Thank you for the experience 😃

5.00We initially planned to visit in the morning but were unable to make this, when I called the lady on the phone was really lovely and switched our appointment time. We arrived and met Jake, who was our guide for the day. We were in a small group with two other couples, who were lovely. The tour took us around 1.5 hours and Jake was a great guide over the aqueduct. There was no upselling or additional costs, it was just amazing views and a really chill adventure. Thanks!
Fantastic experience
