5.00I went on this tour and has such a fun time! The tour guide was clearly really passionate and that came across and got our group all the more excited and wrapped up in the stories. I brought my kids along and they loved it! This isn’t our first time doing a tour with Walking Tours in Scotland and there’s a reason we keep returning to them, their tour guides are experts of the city they are in because they’re from there! The safety restrictions in place out is at ease and overall we had such a lovely time. We will definitely be back.
