“I booked a scooter tour as my mum has some mobility issues and I thought it might be easier than walking but on arrival she had a bit of a meltdown about riding the scooter. Philip our guide was so kind, he adapted to a walking tour and showed us the main sights of the park with some history. It was a great tour and I’m sure it was hard to suddenly adapt the tour. We really appreciated it and would highly recommend any tour with Philip.”
