5.00We had a wonderful visit to Scotland. Our tour guide took us throughout the Royal Mile. We learned many hidden secrets about this amazing city. He made sure that we made all the stops on our list. He also pointed out many beautiful spots that as a tourist you might miss with knowing where to look. I would highly recommend this private tour.

2.00Not many. We booked this and was suppose to get another tour person who emailed me ahead and was interested in our must do’s etc. unfortunately she had a family emergency. Was not sure if we were still ago with a new tour guide because never heard anything. Well the day if tour we went down to lobby and met our new tour guide. She was very nice but honestly we could barely understand her as she spoke Spanish we are not. She was not very knowledgeable at least of what we could understand. I just gave up and just let her talk not understanding anyway. What a waste of our money and time. The original person I’m sure would have been great. But sending someone who was inexperienced and did not speak or language was a waste of our time
