    This was a fun and refreshing tour of Edinburgh. We were excited to hear about the sites from a local’s perspective and not just regurgitation of every guide book. Our guide had inside tips on how to get the best deals and information beyond just a wealth of local spots but on local trends, the local teams, the upcoming festivals, why there we cones on all the statues, etc. Our guide offered perspective of change also—what we would have seen mere years ago as well as centuries ago. He clearly loves this area and sold us on a return trip to go beyond Edinburgh.

    Ana Maria is the most patient guide we’ve ever had! Our flight was delayed and we got to her 90 minutes ast the expected start. This affected done of her plans for us, yet we saw what we wanted and explored future visit opportunities. She is incredibly knowledgeable and loves her job. I highly recommend this tour and her!

    We loved our walking tour with Lilia! We learned soooo much about an Edinburgh. It felt like we went at a very nice pace and it was really interactive and informative. Excellent introduction to a new city!! Definitely would recommend. We did 3 hours which was great for enough information at not too fast a pace.
