“Rich did a wonderful job narrating the history of Edinburgh at the same time driving. He was very talented. Since this is a new tour, my suggestion would be to make two less stops. But my favorite stop was visiting the West Highland cows farm it was a suggestion and he made it come true. Enjoyed all the castles that we stopped. I would recommend this tour.”
