Incredibly knowledgeable, sharing tons of stories and fun facts along the way as well as pairing the sites and stories with related music.

Accomodations at the B&B Andross and Cairn were perfect, very clean, comfy beds, warm shower, good breakfast. Not to miss, the little bakery just around the corner of B&B, opens at 6 am for latte and fresh…”
