5.00We had a nice walk around the city with Lewis today. We started off at circus lane which was filled with nice plants and houses, a perfect photo opportunity! While we were walking to each destination, Lewis would tell us interesting facts about the history behind the architecture of certain buildings, which we enjoyed. Our favorite part was walking along a river and Dean’s Village, nice and calming. We had the best time! I will say there are some hills which made it difficult for me to walk, so be aware and prepared. But please, don’t let that stop you from doing this, we loved Lewis.

5.00Lewis was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional, we had prompt start. The tour had various pit stops along the way. Well structured and learnt quite a bit about Edinburgh which I wasn’t aware of.
