Great Intro to Edinburgh - This was a great introduction to Edinburgh. Our fantastic guide, Stuart, took us to see all the highlights of the city to help us know how to spend the rest of our time in the city. Stuart was a fountain of knowledge and a great ambassador for the city. We learned about several hidden gems, great restaurants and pubs to try, and even the best route to take on our hike up Arthur's Seat. I highly recommend this tour as an intro to Edinburgh.
