5.00John was a very kind, fun and knowledgeable guide . There were a total of 10 of us Quins supporters doing a tour on a foggy Saturday morning and although we could not see some of the buildings until close up, it was still a very well spent 2 hours and set us up for the weekend and gave us some ideas of places to revisit and restaurants to eat. Highly recommend. John, we did tell you it would be a modern day seige at the rugby 😂
