The walking didn't effect us, but if your elderly I felt the walking was a bit fast, with some slight hills( maybe a little more time is required for this) Overall it was a great experience and a fun tour. Definitely worth doing!”

I was hoping that I could share that experience with my partner and son, but alas it was not the same. I think it would be better value to do a self guided tour during the day if you want time to explore the venue and its displays.”
