Fantastic tour with our family with Rosanna as a last minute covid change, so knowledgeable and friendly. Everything went smoothly at pick up and Rosanna was excellent. Happy to give us lots of flexibility with the kids as it was hot and busy being Easter weekend. She really made our visit, Definetly recommend.
