5.00Wow! Where to begin. Ed was an amazing experience! He’s so well informed and entertaining. He walked around with us at all of the sights ( St Andrews, Dungeness, queens ferry). His personal attention and knowledge was so generous and always interesting. He really loves Scotland and it shows. We could not have had a more perfect experience. Please consider Ed for any excursions in Edinburgh and surroundings. You won’t regret it. Treat yourself to a perfect day in Edinburgh!
