So with an appointment booked my partner and I went in. Service was very friendly and Peta was super helpful. She was able to find us a few different options for flights within the price range I was after. There was nothing I could fault! The appointment lasted an hour, she was completely transparent about our options and certainly secured us a great deal. We booked the trip on the spot. Cannot reccomend highly enough, they're conveniently located on George street and really great for helping to sort more complex travel plans that some of us just cannot be bothered taking the steps to sort out.

My travel style is general to book cheap,…read moresnag an airbnb and wing it, so i've never really needed the promise of a 7 night tour to whatsit or a charming romantic country bed and breakfast get away. Until I decided that I too, would become one of the all inclusive junkies. I work a rather hectic job and as much as I love the bustle of vacationing in a new city, my travel style isn't really relaxing. Generally, I spend most of my vacation days at full tilt trying to see and eat as much as possible. But as I started looking at the upcoming year, I realized I might fancy sitting on a beach, eating buffet food, getting drinks brought to me and generally unplugging. It took 30 years but I finally understand the appeal of the "sit and do nothing" vacation. But the thing is, the "sit and do nothing" is much harder to find then the "book and explore willy nilly vacation". My go-to sites for flights suddenly became a huge, confusing wave of information when I wanted to book an all inclusive, lazy vacation. Jimmy Martin is right down the street from my house and I walk by it all the time, so I decided to take a sneak peek at their website first. It's a good website - clean, easy to navigate and has some pretty snazzy deals. It was enough to warrant a stop in for more information. My stop was quick, but the folks here were really helpful. I travel solo mostly, and all inclusives can be a pain in the butt to book for one person but they gave me some really useful tips/options, without making me feel like a leper for wanting to beach vacation solo. I was only in for a few minutes, but left with a few new places to consider and plans to return at a later date after snooping locations on their website to talk about booking something concrete. I'm not sure if a travel agent is going to be something that replaces my age old habit of internet surfing vacations, but in this particular instance, I think they may become my go-to for the rare lazy travel. If you seek a travel agent - they are very nice and worth chatting with/snooping online.

The Tourist Information Centre is your first port of call for...tourist information. This is the…read moreplace you come if you're new in town, Maybe you're lost, maybe you need to know how to get from A to B. If they don't know, they can at least point you in the right direction. Essentially the centre will tell you where streets are, which buses to get when to where, how to get to any of the cities tourist attractions. It also serves as a booking office for some of the cities tours and day excursions. They also provide office services, like printing and photocopying (not exactly sure why). You will also find a gift shop. Not surprising in Edinburgh for anything remotely related to tourism. Although this is actually not your usually tacky trash. Expect some tasteful thistle mugs and saltire stationery. I have to concur with the others though, this place can get crowded fast, and during the festival period don't expect to be able to get in the door after early morning.

Turned out to be a handy choice as I was swiftly provided with all the information I needed to set me off on my journey. One word of advice though, get there nice and early as there it can get excruciatingly congested with swathes of tourists - which I suppose is expected as it's every tourists instinctive information provider.

However all this crap about charging you an extra 40 quid to ensure you sit next to each other on the plane and giving you a measly 15kg luggage allowance for a long haul holiday really ticks me off. Then this year I attempted to book another great deal through their website. Their website wouldn't allow the booking to be completed and kept displaying an error code. So I took a screen print and went down to this branch the next morning, just in time for the exact holiday to double in price. The travel agent told me there was no way that holiday was being sold at the price on the website, despite my screen print. So apparently in some magical way I had created a copy of the web page showing the holiday at a cheaper price. The girl pretty much accused me of being a liar and when I told her that it was against the law to display prices which the company has no intention of honouring she simply shrugged it off. No worries Thomas Cook, I won't bother using you again.
