An enjoyable walk through history. - The guide was very knowledgeable and funny. There was only us in the group so it was quite personalised. I did not know there was so much to learn about the Terminal. There are lots of little easter eggs that you would miss if you just wandered by yourself. We did the summit after and it was quite conveniently close.
