Excellent shorter tour

5.00Very interesting tour and an interesting way to see some of the city. Excellent shorter tour which makes it perfect to fit between all the other activities Edinburgh has to offer. The tour guide has clearly done her research.
Very interesting and sensible storytelling

5.00I had a great time with the narrated tour by Kat. The facts were interesting but not overly dry and "textbook"-focused. Focused more on the storytelling aspect, which I really liked.
Great!
