Safe and professional all the way!
Nicolas and Gregory were brilliant professionals from start to finish with a keen eye on safety at all times. Felt safe under their lead. Great characters with a lovely humour. They guided us through some nervy moments with ease and patience which allowed everyone to enjoy and get the most out of the experience.
All kit provided. And even took photos along the journey for us as well as carrying out water on such a hot day!
Brilliant experience 🙂
