WONDERFUL DAY SPENT WITH JULIAN! - Incredible! Julian was prompt & courteous. Knew the best spots and took his time showing our group of 8 thr most amazing sites. Made sure everyone got to see what they wanted. Treated my son with autism with warmth and respect- even chased down the steam train for my son. Julian customized our trip with the highlights we were looking for, plus other things we didn't know we wanted to also see. He narrated while he drove and we all learned so much about the island. He even took a gazillion photos and videos of our adventures and sent them all to us. Loved every minute! Above & beyond. 10 star rating! This is exactly the kind of tour you want to do. It honestly could not have been any better.
