    We go on all big bus tours when on holiday, but this one went over and above what we had experienced before. We were warmly greeted and given a box containing water and two breakfast cake type snacks which was a really nice touch. Also on the top deck there was a retractable roof which was great as for part of the tour it rained. Really well organised, and all the venues we stopped at were beautiful. I would definitely recommend. Great value for money.

    We took the bus for two days (negotiated with the team for lower price) so we could go different places at our pace. Nice way to go around. The frequency of the buses was not good enough (but we knew it). We hired an afternoon boat tour with them and was terrible, we kept waiting for the boat to start the tour, no guide at all of the places. Bus is worth it but again be aware of the timings!
