Incredibly informative tour guide Dee with plenty of enthusiasm and humour! Due to heavy rain towards the end (out with her control) we had to have the shorter explanations but this only means our appetites have been whetted and we need to return to the city. Dee is obviously very proud of her home town and this is why she is in the best job :-)Dreamer595847
