Very bad experience. On a cruise ship, only a few days away of Edinburgh, Scotland, the tour guide cancelled our tour. What kind of business is this company called “ city unscripted”doing? It was very disappointing. I don’t know if I should blame Viator or the local guide.

I took a full day private tour of Edinburgh with Roxana. I had a great day learning all kinds of interesting details about the city. Edinburgh is full of mystery and beauty, almost trapped in time. Roxana's passion for the city brought this all to life. with great stories and special locations, I learned as much as I enjoyed. CityUnscripted was also great with the booking process and were quick to reply to all my questions. I recommend using them and asking for Roxana, you won't be disappointed.

La città è piccola ed avvolta dalla immancabile nebbiolina britannica che le conferisce un carattere misterioso ed intrigante. Storia medievale e qualche leggenda rendono la city proprio interessante. Un luogo da non perdere e l'idea risulta confortata dalla immancabile presenza estiva della Regina.
