Beautiful day out! Driver was great. Commentary explained where we were and the significance. Not huge crowds, which was nice.

The commentery was excellent. The only thing we could suggest is windscreen wipers on the upstairs front window. It was raining heavily and we could not see out very well.

Very informative commentary. The driving was brilliant. Slightly difficult to see things because of the amount of trees in full leaf but otherwise a good experience
