    Only disappointment was that the animals went inside due to weather which can't be controlled. Still a very enjoyable day.

    Went to the Edinburgh Dungeon and honestly had a really good time. It was fun, exciting, and kept us entertained the whole way through. The stories were interesting and mixed with humour, so it wasn’t just scary but actually really enjoyable. The best part was definitely the actors and actresses, they were so into their characters and made the experience feel super interactive. They joked with the audience, stayed in character the whole time, and really brought the scenes to life. Overall, it was a great experience and something different to do in Edinburgh. I’d totally recommend it if you’re looking for something fun, a bit spooky, and not too serious.

    The tour was great. It's an excellent option for seeing the main sights of the city. I chose the 3-line ticket, and it was a great choice. I recommend using the 3-line ticket and buying it for 48 hours. It's really worth it. It's an excellent option for seeing more than just the city center and the castle. The blue line took us to some incredible and historic places.
