Great Guide and Tour - I booked an Edinburgh highlights tour with Andy Marjoribanks of Edinburgh Cab Tours. He is one of the best tour guides we have ever used. Andy was very accommodating to our wishes, and providing a commentary that was not overbearing but very informative. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. The clouds were low making it difficult to clearly see Arthur’s Seat, Calton Hill, and Edinburgh Castle. Highlights of the tour include a visit to St. Giles Cathedral, Greyfriars Bobby and Dean Village. We were able to take our time to fully enjoy the tour. Communication prior to our arrival was on point and his recommendations helped me to decide what could and could not be accomplished during our one-day in port. I highly recommend Andy if your travels bring you to Edinburgh. The only negative was that Andy forgot to request no rain for our tour.
