Getting into the Spirit

Very interesting tour, our guide Dom was extremely knowledgable and made the experience. Dom was very articulate and has a sense of humour which helps to deliver the tour in a very atmospheric manner. He certainly helped everyone to get into the “spirit ”of the event. Highly recommend this tour, don’t think about it, just book it!
