“AMAZING, FABULOUS, FUN - If you’re lucky enough to have Jules as your tour guide on the Two Fat Blokes tour, you’re in for an absolute treat. She’s the most personable, fun, and fabulous guide we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. We originally booked a half-day tour but enjoyed it so much that we extended to have her guide us in the afternoon as well. I couldn’t recommend her more—she’s truly an asset to the company. We’ll definitely be booking again with Two Fat Blokes, but only if Jules is our guide! 😄” - Reviewed on 2024-10-22
