This tour was exceptional and way above our expectations. Madge, our guide, her knowledge of the history of Edinburgh was very in depth and brought to life the turmoil and struggles of the city over the centuries. A very informative 2 + hours which flew by due to Madge’s presentation. This tour is a must. Brilliant..
