The day included visits to many individual sites which was fantastic and was manageable from an overall duration perspective. Tour guide was fantastic and did a great job of answering our questions and looking after us. I tend to think however that more could have been done to structure the limited time we had at each site so it was spent well. For example, when we have free time to explore a site, guidance on aspects to prioritise.
