Tour guide was fantastic, like a living podcast that’ll answer all your questions! The best bus tour I’ve been on by far. Enough stops to break up the journey with long enough in each location. I felt the guide went above and beyond with sourcing us (discounted) steam train tickets, reserving us seats on the train so we could take pictures and generally being super helpful. Lovely tour, lovely service, 10/10
