The tour guide that narated one of our journeys was very funny - I can imagine he says the same things over and over again, but still managed to make the delivery sound like it was the first time. It's a shame that he did not have a name badge because I would like to give him credit! One this that was not so good, is that we waited at the designated bus stop at the right time - one of the busses did not arrive which meant we were waiting for a longer time than we should have.

I love the tour guide that explained everything and I really enjoyed sitting and watching all the historic sites go by. Because of my previous experiences I always use your service whenever I go to a new city

With limited mobility it was such an assett. Also, although enjoyed the recorded commentary, the gentleman giving a direct report on history etc was brilliant
