If you are driving, then please allow extra 30-60 minutes over whatever time you think it will take you to get here.

The park and ride buses leave every 15 or every 30 minutes and take anything from 10 min to 30 min (depending on traffic) to reach city centre. So if you are going to drive, then please assume you should be aiming to park your car about one hour before your tour starts.
