Learnt a lot about the local area from Marcel, and definitely visited places we wouldn’t have found on our own. Nice group of British and Australians. We did spend quite a long time waiting in the cold for people to buy drinks and go to the bathroom constantly- hard to know if this is avoidable. Also a little pricey, but generally would recommend this tour.
