fun and interesting

laura_k, Jul 2018
It was a very interesting tour, Our guide was terrific and very interesting. We learned a lot about the inhabitants of Edinburgh past and present, he was very educated on the architecture of the city as well. He recommended many places to visit which was nice and he also stayed after for questions, DO THIS TOUR!!!
