Very good! - Communication was easy and clear. The whole tour was very entertaining and the timing was almost perfect. We would have liked a little more time for Bamburgh Castle. The tour was entertaining and interesting, also thanks to our tour guide Sophie. Highly recommended!

Tour Guide - Steven was really helpful! He was enthusiastic about things. He told the truth! He didn't talk about Whiskey because he knew that there was children on the ride. Our previous tour guides always sweared and always talked about Beer and Whiskey.
