We were told lots of stories and fun facts on our tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to all the main sites along the Royal Mile and a couple off. Even tho the time went over what it was suppose to she didn’t rush or end the tour and made sure we saw everything on her list. Definitely a great tour to take when you first arrive to Edinburgh.
