A must do for Edinburgh

Make sure you take at least one go around with the live guide. Funny and informative. They had lots of opportunities to get on and off with three separate routes.

Great experience!

Review of: Afternoon Old Town and Underground Tour 1:15, 3:15, 5:15

visitors, tartan-flavoured souvenir shops, and pipers
