Hi Susie
Don't worry about being nervous - I think most of our customers are the first time. You'll be amazed at how quickly you settle in and start enjoying yourself!
The hotel you are staying at is a lovely one, very close to Princes Street, the Royal Mile and the castle, so there will be some excellent views of this beautiful city.
As for your questions:
You will receive confirmation within a couple of weeks of booking, plus final details of your trip a couple of weeks before you travel.
Your tour manager will be Paul Mukerji. Check your final confirmation for details of checking in and meeting the group, but you should be able to check in any time after 2pm and the group will probably get together at around 6-7pm.
So far 46 people have booked this trip - 13 men and 33 women, with a wide age range from late 30s to early 80s.
Have a great trip.
Kind regards
Olly, your editor
