Richard was very informative and easy to hear. We wouldn’t have understood the meaning of this and for sure wouldn’t have been in best viewing locations. Richard also suggested a pub for lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

A highly recommended tour! Len, our tour guide, entertained us with very interesting and funny stories along the way, and he was also very helpful with tips on what was worth seeing and where to eat.

It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the entire tour, at the end when he gave us the theory he believes in, it was really interesting!

Len's service was very professional and the places visited are very beautiful. It is a highly recommended walk.

great day out, Chris the guide was most knowledgeable
