Loved the time with Chris

michelle_c, Apr 2025

Chris was very accommodating and we had a wonderful tour. So much to see and learn in Edinburgh. The 5 of us - from 12 to 84 years old loved it.

It’s always wonderful to know that our tours can bring something special to guests of all ages. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Chris! All the best Theresa & the TRIPorganiser Scotland Family

A personalized day that maximized our short time in Edinburgh but never felt rushed - with something for all

MeredithTruitt, Jul 2024

Stuart was an excellent tour guide and Beryl was great reaching out beforehand to make contact and set things up in advance. Our cruise docked somewhere other then expected but I reached out the day prior and we were able to plan accordingly. Stuart picked us up on the dock and set an itinerary with domething for me and the kids. I loved the history and they surprisingly loved the botanic gardens. He had to improvise with the King being in town and dome traffic flow concerns but he made the most of our time even showing the kids highland cows on the way back to the dock and we made the cruise with time to spare. Professional company. Well organized. A+++ guide.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Meredith, Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with Stuart as your tour guide. We're glad that despite the unexpected change in your cruise docking location, we could adjust plans smoothly and create a memorable itinerary for you and your kids. It's wonderful to hear that everyone enjoyed the blend of history and the visit to the botanic gardens. Your kind words about our professionalism and organisation mean a lot to us. Thank you once again for choosing TRIPorganiser. If you ever plan to explore more of Scotland, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love to assist you on another adventure. Best regards, Beryl
