Travel Review: Tour of Scotland, Edinburgh, Isle of Skye, Whiskey Tasting, Castle Tours

since the travel company arranged all this, I don’t think we should have had to pay 60 pounds extra to drop our car off at the airport. That should have been arranged by the company and no extra charge since they had it as such in our itinerary.

Also, we asked our travel agent numerous questions about the money exchange and he was not clear himself on that topic. Therefore, we unwittingly got pounds exchanged for dollars and were told by exchange service we could turn remaining pounds back to dollars when we returned. But we did not understand that Bank of Scotland pounds were not British pounds and therefore are now stuck with over $100 of Scot pounds we cannot exchange.  Our agent should have been able to explain that to us because we were asking those types of questions of him before the trip.

Also, I think two days in Edinburg at the start were not enough because the first day was really only a half day since we arrived about 10 a.m. and the time change was affecting us so we needed to rest a bit. The day two walking tour our agent arranged took a full afternoon. We therefore didn’t have time to do anything beyond one hop on hop off tour and didn’t get to see Holyrood, the yacht, botanical gardens, climb Arthur;smseat or other main sites beyond the castle.
