Booking was very easy and directions were pretty good as to where to go. Clearer details of where to gather would have been helpful. At no point when booking was "Ozone" mentioned yet that is the signage on the shop front when we eventually found it after asking around. After that everything was a breeze. The three of us aren't huge sports fans but still found it really interesting. Our guide Rocco was brilliant. Engaging, funny, helpful and a great photographer! Would definitely recommend the tour and will be back to do more.
