Great tour with an amazing tourguide. - “Australian” David was our tourguide. He did an amazing job telling us about the history of Scotland and the route he planned through the city was exciting and impressive. David knows a lot about the city and it’s history so any question we had were answered thoroughly. Definitely recommended!

Great Tour with Great Guide - A exciting and intriguing experience seeing the lesser travelled parts of Edinburgh. Hearing about the history behind the ghost stories was fascinating. Jen, our guide, was insightful, engaging and knowledgeable in equal measure. It was a pleasure to attend one of her tours.
