Vietimme unohtumattoman päivän oppaamme Richard Liddlen kanssa, Downtown abbeyn kuvauspaikoilla ja highclere linnassa. Vaikka yksityinen kierros on kalliimpi kuin ryhmämatkat, niin tämä todellakin kokemisen ja rahan arvoinen. Tästä matkasta tuli meille unohtumaton kokemus. Vahva suositus ja iso kiitos oppaallemme. We spent an unforgettable day with our guide Richard Liddle, the filming locations of Downtown Abbey and Highclere Castle. Private tour is more expensive than group trips, but this experience worth it. The trip became an unforgettable experience for us. Strong recommendation and many thanks to Richard.

Managed to do the Kew Gardens tour just before lockdown 2.0, and so glad I did! The whole process of getting set up with the guide was super easy, and the tour itself was really informative without being overbearing - I learned loads about the history of the gardens and I really felt like they'd done their research. The podcast style of the guide is so different to other audio guides I have used, and it's so refreshing to listen to a guide that is this engaging. Looking forward to using this again when I can visit some more places!
