Our first visit to Edinburgh - We had a fantastic day tour with Sean. The weather was beautiful. We met at the Scott statue and walked up to Carlton Hill for the spectacular 360 view. Then down to the Royal Palace and the Royal Mile. We stopped off at McGonagall’s‘s pub for some delicious haggis, bonbons chips pints and a whiskey flight. It was a fabulous day!

Great city tour in Edinburgh with Beryl - an unforgettable experience! - "🌟⭐ Amazing Edinburgh walking tour with Beryl - An unforgettable experience! ⭐🌟 I had the pleasure of taking part in an Edinburgh walking tour with Tripadvisor and all I can say is that it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The walking tour was led by the lovely Beryl from [email protected] and she really wowed our group with her extensive knowledge and passion for the city. 💫🏰 Beryl was not only an excellent guide but also a great storyteller. Her tales of Edinburgh's rich history and culture were captivating and really drew us into the action. She managed to wow us with her enthusiasm and charm and showed us the city in a new and exciting way. 🗺️🌆 The walking tour itself was very well organised and gave us the chance to visit some of the most famous landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. Beryl also took us off the beaten track and showed us hidden gems and local insider tips that we would have otherwise missed. It was just wonderful to see Edinburgh through her eyes and experience the history and culture of the city first hand. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ In conclusion, I can only say that I highly recommend this walking tour with Beryl and Tripadvisor.
