About the Activity
There is a very great deal to see and do on this tour. But the sky won't fall in if we don't see it all! It's your day. We can skip bits you don't wish to see and Glenys can take you back to your base whenever you like. Is there something you particularly want to see that's not on the tour? No Problem, we can add it in. The tours are private, you won't have to share Glenys with anyone and you can go at your own pace. There's plenty of time for souvenir and ice cream shopping! It's your holiday, your tour, your pace, your choice.5 hours to 13 hours
