    Great experience from start to finish. Train was smooth, slight delay due to an accident but we were well informed and moving quickly. Edinburgh is beautiful I opted to walk vs bus as city is so convenient. Glad I went!

    The train rides from London to Edinburgh were way too long and tiresome. My family and I were a bit lost at first with the directions. However we really enjoyed the trip and the scenery in Edinburgh is breathtaking. The hop on hop off rides were great though the timings were too short to cover all the places as we have to rush back to the station for our train ride back to London. Overall, we love it. There was a slight delay with our return train ride.
