Funny..informative..with merlin the magnificent. Although I do feel the price of £17 per person is a little steep.

My Mum and I loved the tour with Nix. Very informative and entertaining, we very much recommend it. I loved how Nix responded and reacted to other passers by and how she parted the crowds with her broom!
