We loved everything about it. Frank and Bob where hilarious. The bus had a great feel to it. Frank was very informative and we found it all very interesting. The way he delivered all the info was hilarious. He had endless energy and was just fantastic. Theyre both absolute gems. X

We enjoyed the comedy aspect of the tour but feel that at some points they could have utilised additional characters to make it more comical

Overall entertainment was fab, the guide was very informative and funny which made it worth it... would like to have seen dressed up characters maybe and more scares, but would definitely recommend.
