The day was very hot and we finally got an air conditioned bus on the third try. Our guide was very knowledgeable but he talked so fast that I had a hard time following him. Instead of talking to the group, he talked to the ground much of the time. I did enjoy seeing the battlefields though.

Great tour, but paid for narrated tour and got rained out but the extra $ was not returned...not a lot of money, but would be nice. I learned a lot but our kids were in over their heads.

Thanks for the review. Not sure what you meant by narrated as all of our tours whether on a Double Decker or an Enclosed Bus have a Licensed Battlefield Guided on board. Even if it rained you should of still had a Licensed Guide. The Guides are very knowledgeable and I can see depending on their age it being too much for them to absorb.
