I am a Tour Guide
Hey there! I'm Andre, your go-to host in Edinburgh, where history and modernity dance together on cobblestone streets. This city's magic lies in its compactness, blending everything you could wish for without feeling overwhelming. Just a short stroll takes you from the medieval allure of the Old Town to the chic vibes of the New Town—a change of scenery that never ceases to amaze me. My heart belongs to Edinburgh's pub culture, where every corner reveals a story, friendly faces, and the warmth of traditional Scottish fare. And let's not forget the diverse landscapes—from the breathtaking views atop Arthur's Seat to the serene waterside dinners in Leith. Diving into the city's dark history and connecting it to the vibrancy of modern Edinburgh is my forte. Join me for an adventure through Edinburgh's past and present, and let's make some unforgettable memories together!

My reviews

Had a nice experience trying foods and drink with Andre as the guide. He was quite informative about Edinburgh with some historic tide bits. We tried hand pies from a great buttery bakery, Mor Bakehouse. We had lagers from the Jolly Judge. Andre knew of a specialty cheese shop that has Scottish eggs, but alas, they were already sold-out. We toured a bit, and then ended at the Tolbooth Tavern.....whoaaa! Authentic pub. Started with a whiskey and then a cider....we sampled haggis, smoked salmon, goat cheese croquettes, and an interesting black pudding. Was really yummy on top of this crispy potato. Andre was interesting and very accommodating. I recommend this tour with Andre so you can no miss tasting and drinking Scottish faire.
