Guided tours - I have done 2 guided tours with Steve in Edinburgh and Glasgow. He is an amazing guide, he made both tours so adventurous allowing you to feel the magic and excitement of learning new information about parts of the city you didn’t realise were there, hidden gems. His knowledge is endless as is his energy and enthusiasm.highly recommended

Hidden walks - I went to one of these walks recently in Glasgow done by the same person it was a superb day, very interesting, got told so much information about Glasgow I hadn't heard about before. This guy really knows his stuff you won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to many more walks in the future with him.
