I wish my history classes were this fun - We had a fabulous time! A lot of history and humor filled our afternoon. We left with a greater understanding of Edinburgh’s past and smiles on our faces. 11/10 would recommend.

Would book again - Paul was fantastic. We had a large group (13) and at times it was a little crazy keeping everyone together but Paul just went with the flow. We had 5 grandkids in our group and Paul tailored the tour to make it very kid friendly. He explained the history in terms that they could understand. He had great stories and fun facts about the Castle and the Royal Mile. He was very flexible on the time and made our trip very enjoyable. Thanks Lori and crew.

Engaging and informative - a wonderful experience - Paul Stewart gave an amazing tour of Edinburgh, through the New Town and Old Town that really was a revelation to me and my friends. He made the place come alive with history as well as contemporary material and with a funny spin on it all. I can highly recommend Paul as he strikes a perfect balance between keeping you informed and keeping you entertained. A lovely bloke too.

Great Tour Guide! - We had 2 wonderful private tours with Paul in Old Town and Newtown. He’s funny and knowledgeable and very friendly. He has an encyclopedic memory of all things relating to Edinburgh and Scotland. He tailors the tours to your interests. He was one of our favorite guides ever! Be sure to take his tours if you can. He’s well worth it.
