Unfortunately, we were not able to get off our ship because of inclement weather. Since it was less than 24 hours, we were not provided a refund. I understand that the tour guide must be paid, however there was no consideration given to us as the tourist. These tours are not cheap and we have little recourse when circumstances arise that our out of our control.

Doug is our guide. We have targeted the TripAdvisor top 10 list and Doug completed 10+ iconic spots for us. We covered tourist spots from the new town to the old town, Medical College, Diagon Alley, etc. We even took a bus on Prince Street (the first time ever). We are very happy with our Edinburgh visit.

We booked this tour and it was confirmed the day before. We were even asked what we wanted to see. However the tour guide never showed up. The tour operator apologized and said they confirmed with the guide the previous day and couldn’t get a hold of the guide. We were left to figure out the day on our own.

We had the BEST day with Doug as our tour guide! He was kind, knowledgable, and engaging. Im an Outlander and Reign fan and i got to see the palce where Mary Queen of Scots was born as well as many Outlander sites. Next time i come to Edinborough, we will book another tour with him. You will be happy to have him as your guide.
