The city has long been known as a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, the sciences and engineering. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1583 and now one of four in the city, was placed 17th in the QS World University Rankings in 2013 and 2014. The city is also famous for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the largest annual international arts festival in the world. The city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the second most popular tourist destination in the United Kingdom after London, attracting over one million overseas visitors each year. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and the extensive Georgian New Town, built in the 18th century. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has been managed by Edinburgh World Heritage since 1999.
Honeymoon with Kingsbridge
I have been booking vacations with Kindsbridge Travel for over 5 years and just recently came back from my Honeymoon, which was all made possible by travel agent, Diane Ross. The level of detail that Diane provides a customer is jaw dropping. Whether it was an email, a phone call, or even an in-person visit before our honeymoon, my wife and I were always given the most up-to-date information which helped us make a smart choice on where we wanted to go. I have recommended Kingsbridge Travel to multiple people because I have never had such positive customer service before. One example will always stick out in my mind. The night before I left the country for my honeymoon, I received a notification from the airline saying that there was a travel advisory and flights in/out of Italy could be delayed or canceled. Now please note, Diane was away on business and unavailable via the regular means of communication but don't fear - her husband stepped in and emailed/called me at 10:30pm in order to let me know what was going on and how it would all be handled. I knew I was in good hands and I didn't worry about a thing! With Diane, you can ask her for recommendations and you will get an honest answer. She travels the world for a living and can give you first-hand knowledge into the places you want to go. I have never been so satisfied with all my vacations before and I owe her a big thank you for everything she has done. My wife and I are looking into booking another vacation next summer already and can't wait to work with Diane and Kingsbridge Travel.
