Royal Mile

The tour was well planned and gave a good mix of experiences and things to see and do in Scotland.
The pace was about right for us and the tour guide Joan Dobbie was absolutely first class.
We were blessed with excellent weather which of course always helps, especially as a lot of the things we did were outside. Maybe different weather might have changed what we could do and might have coloured our view a bit...
The hotels were all comfortable, well-appointed and convenient. Some were more cosy or more atmospheric than others, but they all provided the opportunity to have a good night's sleep.
I do have mobility issues and use a rollator, so sometimes I chose not to leave the coach for the regular photo stops; I also did find the 1 mile walk up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and the cobble stones in the castle grounds in Edinburgh and in Stirling a bit challenging and uncomfortable, but they didn't spoil things for me in the overall scheme of things.
My only real issue was that we ate our evening meals in Stirling at a restaurant that was about 600 yards away from the hotel. By the end of the day I really didn't want to leave the hotel in order to have our evening meal. Also, we were taken to the same hotel for each of the 3 nights, when I would have preferred the option to try somewhere else - we passed lots of establishments on the way that looked suitable. It wasn't as if the restaurant we were taken to offered a good choice of meals - at least, not for us. Thank goodness that the weather was kind otherwise it would have been miserable! In fact, for the 3rd night my husband and I passed on the meal and ate in the hotel instead, at our own additional cost, just to avoid having to out again.
But all in all, it was a great tour!
