Doug was waiting for us at the meeting point at the agreed time. We walked together around the city explaining the most important aspects at each stop. Great stories and valuable historical information. He is an easy going and flexible guide who we recommend to contact, specially if you want to cover the best places of this beautiful city in a short time visit and at your own pace.

The historical facts were great! She told us this crazy story in the church graveyard that was fascinating and our kids just loved!

Lee was an amazing guide. We learned so much about the lovely city of Edinburg and there is so much to see and do. Lee worked in all of our requests, and I would recommend this tour to all my friends and family.

Richard provided us with an excellent tour, and we truly enjoyed it! It was very informative, and we learned so much about Scotland’s history today! I would highly recommend Richard to anyone! Thank you so much again for going above and beyond our expectations today!

Fabulous tour and will definitely book Jen again when I return to Edinburgh. I had a tween and a toddler in a pushchair. Jen planned an itinerary which was pushchair accessible and that kept my tween fascinated. She has gone back to school full of information on Edinburghs history and culture. I also learnt lots and more importantly we all had fun. Jen is lovely and my toddler loved her (she doesn’t like anyone so that’s the highest recommendation you can get) If you are pondering over whether it is worth the money, it is! Book now and you will not regret it

I booked a walking tour for my toddler, tween & myself. As you can imagine, it’s quite hard to find something that interests all of us but Jen managed it! My daughter learnt more in 2 hours than she does in her school history lessons. It was perfectly tailored to us and such good fun! She really knows her history & Harry Potter if you are into that. We will definitely book Jen when we return to Edinburgh.
