Wonderful!!!
Published on May, 2025
Edinburgh’s history is fascinating but walking down the Royal Mile without a good guide and one would miss numerous intriguing stories. Dorsy was an excellent guide. Our group was small so it was possible to have an on-going discussion with her for the complete two hours. Wonderful!
Fantastic tour. Highly recommend
