Customer Reviews

  • Mervlyn Clarke

    Very well organised. The only thing I would say is that the timing concerning the departure of the train and meeting the rep at Kings X could be better explained. The party had a wonderful time. They were from the US and wanted to experience Edinburgh. The time was enough for us. Excellent
