We enjoyed our day with Irene! She was friendly, approachable and she answered all our questions. The meeting point was easy to find, just below the Johnnie Walker Clock. We saw the highlights of the Old Town and visited some less-known attractions in the New Town such as the Georgian House

This full-day tour of Edinburgh was very comprehensive and I cannot believe how much we saw in one day. The visit to the Georgian House was a great plus! I also very much enjoyed learning about Scottish art in the National Gallery.
