Wonderful private tour - highly recommend Susan! - We had such a great day with Susan. We were a family of five - my wife and I, our 2 adult children, and mother-in-law. Susan really spent time talking to us to determine our specific interests and pointed out those highlights. LOVED IT! Susan was so informative and made Edinburgh come to life. It was our first full day and perfect to orient ourselves. Wish she could have been our guide throughout Scotland! Highly recommend! Thank you Susan!
