While Edinburgh was beautiful and worth seeing, the tour was packed with screwups and disappointments. The Royal British Hotel, supposedly a 3 star B&B, was absolutely disgusting. I felt like my room was a scene from a scary horror movie. The bed linens looked worn and moldy. The staff was very unfriendly. The train experience going there was fine, but on the way back to London, the train company failed to put an entire coach on the train. We were part of 50 people without a seat or place to put our luggage. Arguments amongst the passengers ensued, NO APOLOGIES OR HELP from the train staff. Lastly, the day trip to Loch Ness and the Highlands. The bus driver was extremely unfriendly, and even yelled at a family of Asian tourists in front of the whole bus that he was tired of them and that they were no longer allowed to ask questions. I figured out that they just didn't understand if they were on the right bus. When we got closer to the highlands, a truck turned over in front of our bus, now blocking the entire two-lane road. We had to turn around and go the other way, now 2.5 hours behind. We got to Loch Ness finally, which was nice. However, the entire time, the driver would say things to the entire group like 'if you are not here in exactly 10 minutes, I will leave without you.' I did not appreciate his arrogance or attitude. In the end we missed out on many stops in the highlands as mentioned in the tour. Loch Ness is worth seeing but this bus company was very unprofessional.
