5.00We had a great tour: I saw more in four hours than I did in the four days of my last visit! Alan was a super guide, tailoring the trip around our wants (and my slight mobility issues).

5.00Stephen is an exceptional guide, as well as driver. He took us to amazing places that we wouldn’t have not been able to see on our own. He’s quite knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, flexible, and very thoughtful. Next time we’re in Edinburgh, we’ll certainly book with Edinburgh Cab Tours again!
Fun for the Whole Family!

5.00Stephen was an absolutely amazing tour guide! We did the 4 hour driving tour of Edinburgh. We were travelling with kids and not only did he provide car seats for both our daughters, he made the tour fun and exciting for kids and adults alike! The 4 hours was perfect to keep the kids attention while seeing what we wanted to see. He tailored the tour to the main sites, but also took us to a playground and park for a quick romp. He was knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. 10/10- a great tour!

5.00Stephen Maloney was our tour guide and did an excellent job. He identified our interests, was a knowledgeable guide, altered the itinerary and provided a ‘day to remember’. We strongly recommend Stephen for any tour needs in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.
