We had a great time on this exclusive Edinburgh City Tour! Our guide, Gwen, was very knowledgeable, we learnt a lot about the city’s history and its hidden gems and treasures. I feel that we gained a whole new appreciation for the city. I would absolutely recommend this tour, and Gwen as a tour guide to anyone.

Really educational walk with a friendly and very knowledgeable guide, got to see other hidden treasures in the city that l had not heard about along with the usual spots, like Edinburg Castle and great recommendations for places to eat and shop for my next trip !! The hotel pick-up was really useful !! Helped me navigate the city for my other activities, Doug was amazing !!
