5.00There are at least two possibly three separate tours from same starting point. We were on the Green bus. Tour moderator very good…but in the course of hoping-on and off, we did have one who talked faster than we could hear and digest her brogue. We caught enough to say…both knowledgeable and helpful. Perhaps do the entire route then start again getting off were you wish. Professional, yet personable…inviting but not intrusive.

5.00Very convenient and worth every penny if you have never visited the town before. Gives you a good idea and lay out of the town you are visiting.
The tour was very good....

3.00The tour was very good. The tickets wouldn’t download (and spent much time trying) had to go to the bus station to sort it out; even with that, problems when boarding the bus.finally got on and enjoyed the tour.
