5.00We had Milly as our guide on this tour on May 10th and she was EXCELLENT! So informative and passionate about the subject, and very entertaining. She kept us engaged all the way through, and was open to all of our questions throughout. A total professional and super friendly. She deserves a pay rise as she is an asset to the company. The tour itself covers a huge amount of places, and I learnt so much that I never knew before! Ghosts, witches, and graverobbers - I loved every second amd would totally recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh. 10/10.
