Andy was the perfect guide. He is literally a walking history book! We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We have done many tours and this was totally the best. Ask for him and you won’t be disappointed!

We had such a great day with Susan. We were a family of five - my wife and I, our 2 adult children, and mother-in-law. Susan really spent time talking to us to determine our specific interests and pointed out those highlights. LOVED IT! Susan was so informative and made Edinburgh come to life. It was our first full day and perfect to orient ourselves. Wish she could have been our guide throughout Scotland! Highly recommend! Thank you Susan!

Our walking tour of Edinburgh with Paul was thoroughly enjoyable. We learned about the history of Scotland and Edinburgh and saw the beautiful architecture and sights of the city. Enjoyed art in the National Gallery and some of the excellent food and drink. Would highly recommend Paul and this excursion.
Great in-depth walking tour

Fraser our guide was the best!! Extremely knowledgeable went beyond what the tour offered. When he did not have an answer for us he would research it for us. Highly recommend this tour and Fraser as a guide. Very accommodating, passionate, engaging. He had recommendations for books, food, whisky, and more.
