Glorious Edinburgh Tour

5.00Superb tour of the different neighborhoods of the city including an outstanding history of the various sites. Provided us time to exit cab for short walks to historic buildings, parks, and neighborhoods. We were shown areas where tour buses could not access all in the comfort of easy to enter and exit cab. We certainly saw more sites than we had coped to see. In addition to our tour of Edinburgh, Danny gave us guidance/recommendations for restaurants and shopping. Danny inquired about our planned self-hire car travels following our time in Edinburgh and gave us excellent tips on sites to see on our plans for touring throughout Scotland. What a bonus for us that greatly enhanced our travels! He even offered for us to contact him should we have questions during our subsequent days of travel! Danny was a true gem! Jim & Rosalie
Learned to Love Edinburgh!!

5.00This was an awesome four hour tour by Scott! He is very knowledgeable and has a tremendous sense of humor. We learned so much about Edinburgh and actually decided it’s one of our all-time favorite cities. We very much recommend this 4 hour tour with Scott when you’re in Edinburgh!
Best way to see so much of the city in comfort and with a fantastic guide

5.00My wife and I took our teenagers to Edinburgh for a few nights after a week in London and took this tour on the first day, and WOW are we glad we did. We saw so much of the city and Dave our driver just knew every story, every tale and brought the place to life. We saw the main highlights and got out of the cab at each point to take a closer look, we got great photos, learnt a lot, and Dave adapted the itinerary a little for my son. Could not recommend this enough, and the first day is when to do it, we knew where we wanted to spend the rest of our time in Edinburgh. Thank you for a great experience from a happy family of four!
