5.00James made this tour fantastic! One of the best storytellers, he brought the history of Scotland to life for us on our walk around the city. We loved every bit of this experience, and it was all thanks to James! We definitely recommend booking this if you want to be immersed in Scottish history and don’t mind a longer walking tour.
The Best!!!

5.00Our tour guide Mark did a great job. He had amazing knowledge of the area and was entertaining! He made sure we were all present before starting the information and spoke loudly enough for all to hear.
