Comments from previous participants on a Gold Star Guides virtual tour:Reiterated many thanks from both of us for a fascinating tour of areas we know but clearly didn't really know well enough.

One of the things we like about your work is the enthusiasm that shines through, and another is the clarity with which the material is presented.

That was absolutely fabulous, thank you so much. You are so clear and informative and enthusiastic without being over the top, and at just the right pace.

Well, that was just wonderful. Your delivery is superb. Very clear and engaging. My attention did not wander for a moment.

I've so enjoyed this. You really know your stuff Felicity. How very fluently explained.
