Reviews of Our Edinburgh Experiences

Excellent job pairing us with a guide for this experience. Michael was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information well before our trip including recommendations on where to stay. Scotch was only part of the experience! His historical knowledge of Edinburgh was exceptional.

We did a private whisky tour with Brian and we had a great tour of Ediburgh. Went to a distillery, a few pubs and sampled various whiskies. Would highly recommend Brian for any tour he has.
