Comments from previous participants on a Gold Star Guides virtual tour:

Very enjoyable virtual tours which provided much relief in these difficult times. On-line presentation means you can see the detail which is often missed when in-situ. Happy to do more of them.

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