Euan's Guide Review

Euan’s Guide which provides disabled access reviews, are good friends of ours and popped along to try a tour and give us feedback. It was a great experience for everyone, our guide included, and they left a very nice review on Euan’s Guide with some tips based on their time with us;

‘We decided to try out the Secrets of the Royal Mile tour and see what might unfold. The tour started on the Royal Mile by the Mercat Cross and consisted of a guided walk along the street and dipping in to the closes. As a powerchair user it was fabulous to find a tour that was able to bring the history alive for me and included me in the exploring!’

Both of these tours are predominantly outdoors, accessible for wheelchair users, and we can provide transportable stools for those who may wish to sit between stories.
