    Well done. Creepy in the right amount. Interesting information. The dungeons part was quite short (3 rooms), but still okay. Sometimes it was hard to understand her as a foreigner due to the scottish accent, but that's on us. Really nice guide (Helen), knowledgeable and funny, authentic. Gave us disclaimers before some very harsh topics and everything, really nice.

    Absorbing the atmosphere aboard HMY Britannia was incredible. The tour offered a fascinating insight into what life must have been like when the yacht was still in active service. It was a very enjoyable experience, supported by an excellent audio guide (available in multiple languages) that was engaging from start to finish. We also loved the sandwich and scone in the tea room — delicious, with outstanding service.

    Sunday -17 th May we had an amazing day at Edinburgh Zoo! The zoo is very clean, well organized, and the animals look well cared for. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there were lots of interesting areas to explore. We especially loved the penguins and the beautiful views across Edinburgh. A perfect place for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals. Highly recommend visiting!

    I loved the fact that the guide shared lots of stories with us—ones you can’t read on the signs—that are part of the city’s legends and history.
