Learning about Edinburgh

Published on Nov, 2019

I took a full day private tour of Edinburgh with Roxana. I had a great day learning all kinds of interesting details about the city. Edinburgh is full of mystery and beauty, almost trapped in time. Roxana's passion for the city brought this all to life. with great stories and special locations, I learned as much as I enjoyed. CityUnscripted was also great with the booking process and were quick to reply to all my questions. I recommend using them and asking for Roxana, you won't be disappointed.
