Once I got the hang of the system the tour was fantastic! Even tells you when “you might be lost. Turtle’s chat was brilliant with just enough information to keep the walk interesting.

Super easy to follow! Enjoyed the tour on a rainy day which added to the magic! Couldn’t enter the library without a ticket, planning to do that another time; however, I enjoyed hearing about that piece regardless! Thanks for a great tour!
