Great tour

Jennifer_A, Aug 2022

We were told lots of stories and fun facts on our tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to all the main sites along the Royal Mile and a couple off. Even tho the time went over what it was suppose to she didn’t rush or end the tour and made sure we saw everything on her list. Definitely a great tour to take when you first arrive to Edinburgh.
