After are reviewing options for shore excursions on our cruise, we decided to forgo the group tours to take a guided day tour with toursbylocals around Edinburgh. This turned out to be a perfect choice. Our guide, Kevin, quickly assessed our interests and put together a customized tour of the city. In his charming "Silver Bullet" Taxi we had a unique day with a delightful and well-informed guide. We hope to be in Edinburgh again and would definitely choose another day tour with Kevin in the Silver Bullet!
