A very informative and humorous tour. Our guide was lovely and she was very knowledgeable. So glad we did this tour. I’m hard of hearing and she made sure I didn’t miss out on any of the information.

It was a fantastic tour conducted by Daniel who is an undergraduate for English and Classics. He made everything so interesting with lots of added colour to the story and also shared a lot of his own experiences so it didn’t come across as robotic. Really great tour.
