Enjoyed our excursion

Published on Oct, 2024

Learning some of the history of Edinburgh. Gee was very informative and entertaining. He made sure we got to see as much as possible. We got to take THE pictures to help remember our trip. We got to enjoy a traditional meal. I gave 5 Stars for the excursion and Gee as our tour guide. If I took one star away it would have been the weather, which none of us have control. Very cool and damp with some showers thrown in. When we come back would be earlier in season.

A stroll through ancient Edinburg.

Published on May, 2024

Our tour started being picked up right off the dock. We had an informative drive into Edinburgh and then off to wander the miracle mile. Richard was enthusiastic and had a wealth of knowledge on Edinburg history. He also regaled us in stories of the more turbulent and dark stories of the cities history at our request. A stroll through the cemetery was a favorite. Backstreets and Alleys cobblestones and stairs we traversed the old city and Richard answered our many questions. After a deli ou lunch in the city we were off to Hopetoun house. It’s actually a palace in my opinion but nevertheless it is an awe inspiring structure built in 1699. We toured the house and spoke to the knowledgeable staff and learned a great deal about the home and the family. We were then returned to the dock and said our good byes. You can’t go wrong with Richard on this tour. Highly recommend this tour.
