Ilaria was great at telling us the ghost stories of Edinburgh and the medieval period with her sympathy and irony

The ghost tour was the first day trip we ever took as soon as we arrived in Edinburgh. We immediately found ourselves well with Alessia, a very prepared and very nice guide. With his jokes, the tour was very light while letting us know very dark history of the city. The tour ends at Calton Hill, with breathtaking views. Thank you Valeria. I recommend you to rely on Scotland tours for experiences to do in Scotland and Edinburgh

The guided tour with Marco was immediately very nice and grasped on the history of Scotland and also the present, alternating moments of seriousness and explanations with moments of sympathy that did not make the tour boring indeed enriching and entertaining. I highly recommend the tour to get to know this important side of Scotland and especially fi Edinburgh. I especially recommend the Marco Guide.

Beautiful tour to discover Edinburgh's past! The Guide, Claudio Averna, very knowledgeable, told us interesting stories that I was not aware of and that made me see the city with different eyes! Luckily on the night of the tour there was a beautiful sunset that we could enjoy from Calton Hill!
