Brillant. Just brillant and pretty fun. James, our tour guide, was very eager to provide us with as much inside information as possible and to educate us properly about the history behind those sights he showed us. Entertainment was a given with James as well. Unfortunately, we had no cash to give him as a little extra for a job well done. If I ever see him in a pub, I‘d buy him a beer. Cheers
