O melhor da viagem

Excelente do início ao fim. Passar por Newcomen já valeu o tour todo. Aprendemos mais sobre a cidade em algumas horas do que lendo três guias. Comparando com fazer por conta própria, compensa. Se voltarmos a Edimburgo, repetimos.

Muy bueno

Contentos con la experiencia, aunque no todo fue perfecto. Muy buen detalle que incluyera traslado desde y hasta los hoteles. En William Chambers nos quedamos un buen rato en silencio, mirando. El día que fuimos había mucho viento y eso acortó una parada.

Muy contentos con la elección. El auto tenía agua fría esperándonos, un detalle mínimo que se nota. El chofer nos fue contando qué era cada cosa hasta Newcomen.

Simplemente perfecto. Muy bueno que incluyera autobús con aire acondicionado. Buena logística, se ve que lo hacen todos los días. Si volvemos a Edimburgo, lo repetimos.

Speechless

Exactly what we were looking for. Great that the Edge and Newcomen Admission, for same day use only was included. For what we paid, it is exceptional value. The ground staff were friendly from first contact. If you are in New York, do not miss it.

Positivo en general

Buena elección si es tu primera vez en Edimburgo. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. La confirmación tardó un día en llegar y nos puso nerviosos. Lo recomiendo, con las aclaraciones que hice.
