5 star rating: Highly Recommended March 2013

The Edinburgh pass is fanastic value, managed to see lots more of the attractions than we would have been able to afford. The information centre at Wavereley Station was also really friendly and helpful: would reccomend.
Worth noting that Camera Obscura doesnt close till 6, where as dungeons and dynamic world both stop entry at 4pm at low season, so if we did again wed shuffle it around and do camera obscura lastas we ran out of time for dungeons.

5 star rating: Highly Recommended August 2011

Seven days in Edinburgh were excellent. We booked an apartment that was 15 minutes by bus from downtown. The weather was perfect for this time of yera, 15-20 degrees Celsius, and rain was just for one day. Each day we were in the best-known places and detinations of Edinburgh. We head breakfast in the apartment, a light lunch and generous donner in beautiful restaurant of Edinburgh.Finally, the Holiday was wonderful.
