Incredible Day in Edinburgh

staceyanderson71, Aug 2024

There were 6 of us and we booked a private tour rather than a cruise excursion and couldn't have been happier! Tom was an amazing guide and we did so much more than if we had done something through the cruise line (and paid less, too!). Communication was excellent from day one and Tom met us at the port with a very clean and well-stocked vehicle. His sense of humor kept us entertained all day. Getting to hop in and hop out of our own private vehicle, even at the busiest of places, was such a seamless experience. I did not think it was possible to see as many things as we did on a half day tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Edinburgh!

Thank you for your amazing review. Yes, booking with ourselves is much cheaper than with your cruise line. We offer far more than they do at half the cost. I hope the next time you visit it will be on land for more than 1 day. Thank you. Tom.

Perfect intro to Edinburgh
