Experiences here are mixed, sitting at 3.7 out of 5. When the tour runs well, guides like Doug earn real praise for being knowledgeable, funny and well paced, with the afternoon tea itself a highlight. However, some visitors noted last minute cancellations and a guide who walked too quickly for those with mobility needs.
