点评:Went as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The tour opted out of reviews and I can see why.
The tour guide was genuinely terrible. He barely spoke above a mumble and when someone at the back rightfully asked him to speak louder, he refused and was quite rude about it. Considering this was during the Fringe, the city was packed and very noisy. He was difficult to make out even if you were right beside him. This would be fine if he just invested in a speaker or earphones that many tours would utilise. The guide would often ramble about something not connected to the tour at all which was just frustrating.
The tour itself wasn't great either. Our first stop was 15 minutes away from the meeting point so begs the question why we didn't just meet there. The sights were loosely connected to the featured writers with admittedly the occasional interesting anecdote.
This tour may have been good in the past based on the previous reviews. But has taken a nosedive in the years since. If this was a free walking tour I could understand but I felt cheated out of £20.
Please save your time and money and just visit the Writers Museum for free.
翻译:作为爱丁堡边缘艺术节的一部分。这次旅行选择了不发表评论,我明白为什么。
导游真的很糟糕。他几乎只是咕哝着说话,当后面有人理所当然地要求他大声说话时,他拒绝了,并且对此非常粗鲁。考虑到这是在边缘艺术节期间,城市拥挤且非常喧闹。即使你就在他身边,也很难认出他。如果他只投资购买许多巡演都会使用的扬声器或耳机,那就没问题了。导游经常会闲聊一些与旅行无关的事情,这真是令人沮丧。
这次旅行本身也不是很好。我们的第一站距离集合点 15 分钟路程,所以我们不禁要问为什么我们不在那里集合。这些景点与特色作家有着松散的联系,不可否认,偶尔也会有有趣的轶事。
根据之前的评论,这次旅行过去可能不错。但自那以后的几年里,情况急转直下。如果这是一次免费的徒步旅行我可以理解,但我感觉被骗了 20 英镑。
请节省您的时间和金钱,免费参观作家博物馆。
