We are taking a RS tour to Edinburgh this August.
Last year we were on a RS tour to the Peloponnese in Greece. We arrived several days early in Athens and did a bit of city orientation.
We later found that several of the smaller sites that we visited ahead of the tour (that were not listed in RS tour itinerary) would have been covered by our ticket to the Parthenon, museums etc. We would have saved a bit by waiting for our final free tour day to have visited these sites.
So my question is this-do our tickets for the sites in Edinburgh include places that we will not visit on the formal RS tour and can do on our own without incurring additional cost? THANKS
Your question should be addressed to the Rick Steves office.
