A wonderful learning experience - David was the kindest most knowledgeable, pleasant and deeply interesting guide. We not only discovered some of the most historical highlights of the beautiful mystical city of Edinburgh, but history was brought to life and put in the most pertinent prospectives. Furthermore, David was kind enough to wait for us patiently as we were running late. The tour was seamlessly adapted; yet we were able to discover quite a lot nonetheless, yet we know we only scraped the top, and are eager to discover the rest. Curiosity is the foundation of travelling, travelling plants the seeds of more curiosity, and the journey shall continue . Thank you so very much for a wonderful experience .

Not worth it - Didn't stop at advertised locations, despite request to talk about the medieval history of the history guide shared mostly personal stories. We could have achieved the same result on our own without guide.
