Well worth the challenging climb! - The fact that your climbing within a building that is well over 500 years old is just an awesome feeling and experience!

Rubbish organisation - Totally rubbish organisation. See from the photo the guidance when and where to meet. This was totally wrong and after a stressful 40 mins and expensive telephone calls back to the U.K. eventually found your guide. Then explained that yes the website needs updating because info is wrong…. I have a suggestion…. Update the website so clients don’t pitch up late and stressed out. The tour itself is ok but with too many in the group unless you make effort to be close to the guide you miss the information.
