点评:We had been anticipating our visit to this famous place for ages. The hour didn't let us down! Sadly no photography is permitted but this is understandable.
The delightful and charismatic Fiona was our guide. She was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable about the region's history and very skillful and confident in delivery and performance- and amazingly she's still on probation! Unbelievably good.
The walking tour around this old, cramped site can be tricky to negotiate for those with mobility issues, especially with low ceilings, uneven stone floors and narrow, steep stairways (with modern handrails though).
Warning for some: the living history details of those poor residents in 18th century Edinburgh slums can be very sad, grim and moving, as to be expected with plague, extreme poverty and degradation.
Fiona did an amazingly good job at balancing the grim, detailed and interesting details with humour and respect!
翻译:我们期待着参观这个著名的地方已经很久了。这次参观没有让我们失望!可惜的是,这里不允许拍照,但这可以理解。
我们的导游是令人愉快且魅力十足的菲奥娜。她非常棒,对该地区的历史了如指掌,而且讲解和表演都非常熟练和自信——令人惊讶的是,她还在试用期!真是太棒了。
对于行动不便的人来说,在这个古老而狭窄的遗址周围进行步行游览可能会很棘手,尤其是在低矮的天花板、不平整的石板地面和狭窄陡峭的楼梯(虽然有现代扶手)的情况下。
警告:18世纪爱丁堡贫民窟贫困居民的生活细节可能非常悲伤、阴郁和感人,正如瘟疫、极度贫困和衰落所预料的那样。
菲奥娜在阴郁、细致和有趣的细节与幽默和尊重之间取得了惊人的平衡!
