But the tour guide does a good job of trying to stay in the shade and remind everyone about taking water and refilling at various locations. Our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable about Game of Thrones and the filming and even has pictures to show when he met some of the cast he is very funny and speaks English very well. Highly recommend.”
