Vi hadde Svend-Erik som guide. Han var kunnskapsrik, morsom og engasjerende. Han tok oss med på tur gjennom kirkegårder og i gamlebyen etter at mørket hadde falt, og fortalte morsomme spøkelseshistorier og interessante historiske fakta om Edinburgh. Vi lærte mye av turen, og det gjorde det morsommere å gå igjennom gatene neste dag, og ha historier knyttet til bygninger og steder. Veldig gøy, anbefaler privat guide.
