This was self guided tour. We did it in reverse from Jane Austen Center. Did not find the Georgian Gardens mentioned in the tour. Otherwise excellent narration with Regency and Georgian history if you are an enthusiast. Recommend if you are Jane Austen fan.

Great story telling. The narrators share fun tidbits making it more interesting. "If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad."
