| Here's what some of our previous groups have
said about our Guides................. |
|
Thank you so
much for arranging for a guide to come and speak to us, he was
brilliant. He had to "paint" us a word picture of Windsor
Castle because the hotel could not provide a screen and quite
honestly we all felt we had the better option, he was very funny as
well as being very informative.
|
"I am just writing to thank
you and our two guides for
a wonderful walking tour of Windsor and Windsor Castle on
Saturday. The tour was a great
success and a great time was had by all. Many thanks and we
look forward to working with you again in the future.
|
|
Our clients really enjoyed the tour saying
that the guide included information on how their country related to
the history of Windsor which made it more interesting for them.
They really enjoyed the tour.
