5.00Introduction to Edinburgh so you have a better idea of what you want to focus on. Our guide was informative and told stories that illuminated and brought history to life
Great guide

5.00Sean was a great guide for our walking tour. His knowledge and enthusiasm can’t be matched. Have a teeny tiny bit of knowledge about Scotland’s deep history. He did a great job leading us through a busy Old Town tour.
Definitely book!

5.00Stuart was our guide on a rainy day and it was totally worth it! He’s a wealth of knowledge and helped us find areas we would not have found on our own. He also provided us with insight into many of the buildings we had passed by and made it a more meaningful experience!

4.00Our guide was Andrew and the tour company was Amitylux. Very personable and passionate about Edinburgh as shown in the amount of stories and the sometimes lengthy detail he went into. We stopped a few times for very rainy weather and he accommodated the group's needs. We did not see the entire tour even after going 15 minutes over possibly due to the length of some of the stories, the weather, and the group's physical capabilities. He assisted us with directions to get to other places of interest after his tour. It is a tour not for physically challenged for sure due to the amount of steps and the inclines in the city. It is a fascinating city.

5.00Andrew was a fantastic guide with a great sense of humor. He kept us walking for 3 hours which passed quickly as we traversed all around Edinburg's new and old towns. Lots of history and fun facts. Would definitely recommend.
Experiencing the Royal Mile!

5.00Andrew was excellent! We enjoyed his knowledge of the history and everything he showed us. I would have loved to have been able to stop into St. Giles and the “author’s” house. But, enjoyed everything!
Great way to tour the city!

5.00Sean was on time and ready to lead our tour! He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and stopped at all of the important places. He took pictures for us and lead us up to see exciting views of the city! Great way to familiarize yourself with Edinburgh so that if you want to take additional tours to HollyRood Palace, the Edinburgh castle and the Walter Scott monument, you will know how to get there! Highly recommend—and wear great walking shoes😊
Stuart was knowledgeable...

5.00Stuart was knowledgeable and fun. We only did the Royal Mile and Grass Market and would have liked to do a few "off the beaten track" locations. But the tour was well done.
Great tour and guide
