Enjoyed the Tour!

Mary Stewart was wonderful. Loved her makeup! She was in character when need be and spoke clearly. Some of the stories we heard yesterday on the street tour + Edinburgh Castle.

Not as informative because the guide was attempting to be funny (he was not)

This was not a great tour. First of all, I think anyone with any sense would know that in this political climate, the last thing a Canadian wants to be called is an American...repeatedly. The guide insisted on insulting (over and over) all of the guests in a very lame attempt to be funny - he was not. He wasted SO MUCH TIME not being funny, I have to wonder if he just did not know much history? As far as the underground goes, you only see 2 rooms underground. Not scary and kind of a waste of time. I would not recomnend.

Agnis Finn- actor and tour guide extraordinaire

Andrew at the ticket booth hunter square was an absolute delight to deal with when booking for the tour. We were running late for the tour and he walked us to the tour spot to make sure we don’t miss out on it. Thank you Andrew Our tour guide was exceptionally entertaining and very informative. Agni’s Finn had great story telling talent and kept the whole group gripped with it. She’s an absolute natural and played the character quite well. Thank you agnis Finn for making the tour super interesting, jumpy at time and absolutely entertaining. A must do tour for anyone visiting edinburgh
