    Loved our tour. Only reason I gave it a 4 is we would have liked walking the while mile strip to see things. But for a quick day trip from London we saw and learned som great things from our guides!

    First time visitor to Scotland. We really enjoyed the royal mile and castle tour. Veni was very informative. You learn a lot about the history of many buildings and the people back in the early days. I like that the tours supply you with headsets so you can easily hear what the tour guide is saying.
