Nick was a terrible tour guide. He kept repeating the same information like 10 times, talked alll the time without intervals that made it super boring. He also did not book a timeslot to get inside, which made us had to wait over an hour to get in. He also did not know the answers to asked questions.

Die ganze Tour war so informativ und interessant! Auch wenn man sich nicht wirklich mit englischer Geschichte auseinandersetzt ist man wirklich gut mitgekommen und alles wurde aufschlussreich erklärt! Unser Tourguide Ullrich war einfach toll. Nach 4,5 Stunden und ca 10.000 Schritten mehr können wir sagen: Diese Tour war einfach großartig! Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen.
