My ticketing experience was flawless and quick with no issues . The tour itself was absolutely amazing. The guide was knowledgeable and inclusive of the entire group. She was really patient and kind especially with the children making it fun and interactive. It was apparent that she loved her job. I apologise for not remembering the guides name as we did so many tours and the names all seemed to blend into one. Thank you.
