Top tour! Het is een tour waarbij de gids verteld over de Royal Mijl en jij luistert naar haar/hem via een koptelefoon (die krijg je bij aanmeldpunt) leuke tour waarbij je weetjes krijgt te horen over de Mijl. Op het eind lekker rondstruinen in het kasteel. Wij hebben een top middag gehad!

Negatief meer over de boeking. Deze moest ik twee maal doen en bleek dat hij nog niet was doorgekomen. Na een telefoontje van de gids mochten we toch mee. Ik had ook uitdraai mee, maar deze was natuurlijk in het Nederlands en lastig voor hun. Gelukkig stond hun naam erop en ook datum en tijd.. waardoor zij er wel mee akkoord gingen. Waarom de boeking zo slecht is gegaan weet ik niet. Eerst keer geld terug, tweede keer bevestiging .. leek gelukt .. maar dus niet. Tour goed.. allen Royal Mile.
