We had our tour with DONALD who was fantastic! He was not only a fountain of historical knowledge, but also an overall really nice guy. Thank you Donald for a great tour and an afternoon well spent!
Show moreSent my g4anddaughter and her beau on tge tour. They had a great time. They were the only guests with the guide so lots of fun interaction. And they came back with great stories and fun facts to share.
Show moreWhen they say this tour is customizable, they really mean it! After booking, I received a detailed survey asking about our interests, and I shared that we wanted time to shop for local souvenirs and artisan crafts. Our guide, James, went above and beyond — taking us to charming local shops and recommending beautiful spots for handcrafted jewelry. We also mentioned our love for cozy cafés, and he made sure we had time to enjoy one during our walk. Throughout the tour, we learned so much about how Edinburgh was built and the fascinating bits of history hidden in plain sight — things we never would have noticed without a local guide! (For example, the subtle markings that show where the old city walls once stood — we’d walked past them several times before without realizing what they were!) Our must-see list included Edinburgh Castle, St. Giles’ Cathedral, Scott Monument, and Edinburgh Old Town. Even though our castle visit was only from the exterior, the 4-hour walking tour was packed with insight and charm. By the end, James felt like family — my 12-year-old even joked that she wanted to adopt him as her new granddad! Honestly, this was the best thing we did during our trip to Scotland. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who wants a meaningful, personalized, and truly local experience of Edinburgh.
Show moreWe thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hour tour with our host Tanya! She is a true gem, and walked us through the Old Town sites sharing tidbits of Scottish history. The information we learned from her mapped out our journey through the country as we drove to Inverness down to Glasgow, then back to Edinburgh. I LOVE Scotland - thank you so much!
