Sooo FUN !!! - I had heard about Ned and his fab tours from friends… so when my bestie from WA was visiting I decided to book us in . History is one of those subjects I love but struggle with the whole over used chronological theme that some guides like err to use … ( ya know, brain overload ?!) Ned kept my attention the whole time , he is very personable , knowledgeable passionate and mixes old with new . Do I recommend this tour absolutely!!! Look forward to the next one Ned .
