“Dramatic landscapes and beautiful scenery. 32 seat (not 16) was second of 3day tour so was fairly full on arrival. Had chosen this company as was scheduled to end at 6pm whereas most others ended at 8 so disappointed to get back at 8. Cheerful driver but a bit disorganised on his timings and stoppages”
