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

Wonderfully engaging couple (Pato and Aly) from Connecticutt, US. Well travelled and very down to earth. Lots of information shared in our parley and they were keen to know of 'off the beaten track' places to visit in Dublin offering good Sunrise/Photo opportunities, avoiding crowded; touristy spots. Also wanted to get a sense of real Dublin community and culture. They like literature, especially classical writing and have their own unique Photography interests they want to explore whilst in Dublin. A real pleasure to share time with Pato and Aly.
