Royal Mile
The Royal Mile is the historic heart of Edinburgh, Scotland, running from the Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. It's about a mile long (hence the name) and is lined with shops, restaurants, pubs, and historic landmarks like St. Giles' Cathedral. It's a bustling area full of history, culture, and tourist attractions.
New Town
New Town Edinburgh is the elegant Georgian part of the city, contrasting with the medieval streets of the Old Town. It was built in the 18th century as a solution to the overcrowding in the Old Town. New Town is known for its wide streets, neoclassical architecture, and spacious squares, such as Charlotte Square and St. Andrew Square. It's a hub for shopping, dining, and cultural activities, with attractions like the Scottish National Gallery and the Princes Street Gardens. New Town offers a different vibe from the Old Town but is equally charming and worth exploring.

He was very thorough, wasn’t watching his clock …. You tell him your interests and he shows you everything there is too see and more.

Great way to get an overview of the beautiful city of Edinburgh in four hours with a very knowledgable guide. Saf obviously loves the town and its rich history. He’s a skilled driver and knows how to take great photos of his customers capturing the best scenic views in the background.

Mr. Saf embodies the quintessential Scottish host! His profound knowledge of the country's history is truly impressive. Punctual, impeccably presented, respectful, and wonderfully humorous, he delivers a highly professional yet incredibly kind experience. My group would enthusiastically award him ten stars if we could. For an Edinburgh tour that consistently exceeds expectations, Mr. Saf is an unparalleled choice. Highly recommend!

My husband and I enjoyed very much the Black Cab sightseeing tour in Edinburgh with our wonderful driver/guide Saf. He showed us the old and new town of Edinburgh and was not only a very skilled driver in the crowded streets but also a very competent guide with a great knowledge of Edinburgh‘s history. We appreciated very much, that he looked to match the itinery with our wishes and needs. Thank you Saf ! Barbara and Hermann
