The tours to the Yacht was good, and to Edinburgh. The coach driver was helpful but didn't have much knowledge about Scotland. The food was good at the Hotel but the Hotel its self was tired and needed updating. The entertainment left a lot to be desired

Arrived very late at Waverley Hotel after 14hrs of travel in uncomfortable coacj, supper saved but food disappointing. Room clean, bathroom in need of maintenance attention & very small, hotel in need of some deep cleaning. Royal Yatch visit fantastic. Visit to Edinburgh possibly too long. Driver very polite & helpful but not very knowledgable re area. Late leaving Hotel for return so late arriving for 'filter' coach leaving only 15-20mins for comfort break etc.
