Fantastic full day tour with Stephen - We booked a full day tour with Stephen in July 2023 and had the best time ever. Stephen is very knowledgeable and asks what you would like to tour. He made sure we were able to see everything we asked about and you could tell he really enjoyed his job. If you ever have a chance to go to Edinburg Scotland book a tour with Stephen, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I hope to go back to Ireland in a couple of years and I will definitely book with him again. Mindy Z

5 star company!!! The one to use in Scotland - I couldn’t recommend this company enough! Stephen is the most thoughtful and knowledgeable tour guide you could ask for. He learned a little about us and what we wanted to see and customized our stops to make our tours even more special, helped us get items to celebrate my moms 70th in a picnic and made a custom welcome sign for us! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the country as well! We did several tours w his company and private airport transfers and wish everyone would use him!!

Edinburgh in March - We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide,Stephen was terrific. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He ensured we saw the most important areas of the city., whether by coach or on foot. Athough it was cold and a bit windy, he made sure we were always comfortable. We're already looking forward to our next experience.

Wonderful journey with Stephen Maloney - We took the 4 hour private tour with Stephen. Our first stop was Rosslyn Chapel, but we were a bit early so he took us up to the castle as well, so we started the day with a good hike, and awesome stories. Every place he took us was spectacular and we would not have been able to experience as much on our own, Stephen Maloney is very knowledgeable about Edenborough history. His Mercedes wan is in great condition and and gave us good comfort on our journey. Great way of seeing Edinburgh in comfort. Plenty of stops to take photos, and no rush anywhere, after the trip he dropped us off in the city at a spot of our choice.

Stephen Maloney is hands down the best tour guide ever and I travel a lot!!! - Stephen Maloney is hands-down one of the most fun tour guides we’ve ever had! From the moment we met him—rocking his kilt and big teddy-bear energy—we knew we were in for a great day. He’s an incredible storyteller who made Edinburgh’s history come alive, and he took us everywhere. The car was stocked with drinks and snacks (huge bonus!), and he knew all the best hidden spots for photos. Even better—Stephen took the pictures for us, using perfect angles that made us look fantastic. No awkward selfies required! His timing was spot-on all day, but the grand finale was pure magic. He took us high above the city just as the sun was setting over Edinburgh, and the view was absolutely stunning—one of those moments you’ll never forget. I truly cannot say enough good things about Stephen Maloney. If you want a tour that’s fun, relaxed, beautifully timed, and full of laughs, stories, and jaw-dropping views, book with him. He’s awesome!

Hands Down Best Guide, Best Experience, Best Edinburgh Tour with an Amazing Guide. - Stephen was an absolutely amazing tour guide in Edinburgh! From the moment we met him, he made the experience fun, relaxed, and unforgettable. He’s a fantastic storyteller with a great sense of humor, proudly wore his kilt, and truly is a big teddy bear—warm, welcoming, and full of personality. The car was stocked with drinks and snacks, which was such a thoughtful touch. He took us all over the city and knew exactly where to go for the best photo spots. Even better, he took incredible pictures of us—using perfect angles that made us all look fantastic. No awkward selfies needed! Stephen’s timing was flawless throughout the day. The grand finale was breathtaking: he took us to a spot high above the city just as the sun was setting over Edinburgh. It was absolutely beautiful and the perfect way to end the tour. I truly cannot say enough good things about Stephen. If you’re lucky enough to book a tour with him, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. He’s awesome!

Unforgettable Journey with Stephen Maloney - I was warmly greeted by Stephen Maloney on my solo guided tour of Edinburgh. I felt completely welcomed and we just hit it off and had a fantastic start of the day. He was extremely knowledgeable of Edinburgh and its history and also explained historical detail which was amazing. He was always looking to see what we could do next which he never once disappointed me with all of his insight. He truly went out of his way to make sure I had the best experience. His willingness to help and guide you really comes through in everything he does. At the end of the day, I felt I made a friend in Scotland and will do my best to visit again.
