Not gimmicky - just intelligent and well done

elliotb964, Sept 2025

Really interesting and well-presented tour. Not just a barrage of useless facts - our guide brought the history of the place to life with a nicely constructed chronological walking tour. Not gimmicky - just intelligent and well done.
