Great value for what you get. The small group size made a real difference. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Smooth from start to finish. No queues, no confusion, and the guide knew the area inside out. Squeezed it in around a work trip and it was worth the time.

Worth it, just about
Good value, though the timing was tight and we felt a bit rushed at the end. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.

Below expectations
Poorly organised on the day. The staff seemed unsure of the schedule themselves. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.
