Hi! I'm Madisen
I am a Type A planner that loves to travel. With thoughtful research and meticulous planning, the Edinburgh Travel Guide was born. I needed to plan my trip to Edinburgh and wanted to make sure I got to see everything I wanted to while I was there. The Edinburgh Travel Guide is a collection of wonderful restaurants and bars, must-see attractions and scenery, and a curated list of hotels and accommodations to choose from.
I started at net zero — no knowledge of anything in Edinburgh. With my travel guide, all you need to do is look through the hotels, experiences, and restaurants and pick what suits your needs and interests. The need to sort through hundreds of options (many that you wouldn't even consider) is eliminated. I hope you have the best trip, happy planning!
