Excellent and informative. Would definitely recommend and will be booking to go on another one very soon I hope. Several to choose from.

A tour of the church I was christened in, my parents married in and the church my primary school was affiliated to. Was already more than familiar with the church but learned so much more and saw parts we never had access to including the crypts, the bells, behind the clock faces and the views from the steeple. Jonathan and Stephen were informative, knowledgeable and just good company throughout.

Really enjoyed the tour of the Caledonian clock tower. The Guide Jan was very informative and interesting. We climbed to the top. Saw the workings of the clock and learnt loads of history of the area.
