Reviews Royal Mile
“Sehr zu empfehlen, tolle Erklärungen , optisch ein Highlight,”
“We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guides were really helpful, sociable and personable, from booking in, to the tour itself. Veni was very good, we came away with lots of information and enjoyed all the stories about Edinburgh.”
“The tour was so good. Shannon was the perfect host and her story telling was amazing. She deserves a pay rise, or at least make her a cuppa and give her 3 biccies .... the good ones!”
