Edinburgh's Last Meetings

  By now, our followers are well aware that we love to meet folks and have a good chat. So it should not come as a surprise that we followed this same routine right up to our last day here. Families, a tour guide, and even a dog as a national hero have made it to today's group:

Mother and daughter duo of Andrea and Katie were visiting Edinburgh from Perth, Scotland when we met them on the Royal Mile.

During the Harry Potter tour, we met Stewart, Isiac, Lochlan, Jasmine, and Simone, a family from Australia, who were on holiday from dad's job in Dubai.

While at our last meal out before the end of our stay in Edinburgh, we had the chance to talk with Carmelita and and Uliarte from Spain.

Johnnie provided us with a free 2 1/2 hour walking tour of Edinburgh. He came highly recommended and really was quite a good storyteller.

The legend of "GreyFriars Bobby" has turned this little dog into a national hero. According to the story, Bobby was a police officer's devoted pet, that was devastated by the owners death. Caretakers of the Greyfriars cemetery reported that Bobby showed up everyday for 14 years to lay atop his owner's grave. Is this legend true? We leave it up to you. The Scots like to believe it.

Dear Karl and Lorraine,

How lovely to see that you followed our advice and did the tour with Johnny! He is quite the storyteller isn't he? Hope he made you laugh as much as we did when we took the tour.

Cheers,

Sanne and Nathalie

Thank you so much for recommending him. We had to pass up on three tours offered by others before we were able to go on his. He was a great storyteller. His colleagues all said he was THE expert on Harry Potter and we could see why. We recommended him to others. Again thank you so much.
