Reviews
It was fun and the tour guide is funny as well. The Alnwick castle tour and Alnwick garden tour needs separate payment which is 8 pounds each. I think it would be better if its included in the payment here rather than booking for it separately.
Very good, is a tour group of rabbies, booking is cheap and convenient, very good
The route is wrong, but some places are not worth staying for too long or some places are not enough
Weather was not good as it was raining but still I enjoyed the trip. Bruce, our tour guide, was very informative and nice. Finally got to see Alnwick Castle and it was amazing
There is plenty of time to visit the castle and there is a detailed introduction to Scottish history in the leadership itinerary.
