Let's hear it for Mr Lee

We've just had confirmation that our guide will be Mr Lee. We were told previously that our guide would be Mr Sam. This would have led to the "hilarious" situation of me being Mr Frodo and Fiona being, inevitably, Gollum.

However, this is not to be. Aww.

Further we are informed that our tour consists only of the two of us. I was concerned they may have been people I didn't get on with (groups I basically don't get on with being : children, teenagers, young people, middle aged people and older people). Fiona was concerned about older people slowing us down.
