We were lucky enough to have Delia a young tour guide but clearly enthusiastic and excited to share her knowledge! It was a great tour, including both the battleground as well as “ye old burial ground”, which was a solemn and historical place with beautiful tombstones and engravings. Highly recommend for a focused and informative tour.
