4.00Our guide was great lots of information and fun to talk to! We did have one problem they told us to show up to bus stop by 8:am. We were still waiting at 8:50 so we called and they said that was a mistake it should have been 9:an. Other than standing outside waiting for an extra hour trip was good.
Excellent tour

4.00A really good trip with a fantastic guide. Only downside was the wait for the bus in the freezing cold. Mixed messages about pickup place & time, which ended up with a wait of one hour and 30 mins.
A good day
