[16 Pax] Rosslyn Chapel and Scottish Borders Day Tour from Edinburgh

Enjoyed the tour

"My friend, Catherine, was the one who found Tours4Fun online. She was the one doing the planning and booking online and purchased the package. Our 1-Day Rosslyn Chapel & the Scottish Borders Tour was very nice. We went to a variety of places. We saw the statue of William Wallace and went to Melrose Abbey. There was a third stop before we finally went to Rosslyn Chapel, which was the last stop on the tour. It was a positive experience and I enjoyed the tour. The next time we go to Scotland we would certainly consider Tours4Fun. They gave us a nice tour and our tour guide was knowledgeable about the events he spoke of"
