5.00We visited Edinburgh for the Hogmanay celebrations and decided to book this tour as a quick introduction to the city. It’s always helpful to get your bearings when you arrive somewhere new, and this tour was the perfect way to do that. Nathalie, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative—she truly knew her stuff. As she took us around the Old Town, she shared fascinating facts and stories from the past, making the experience both engaging and insightful. The tour offered excellent value for money, covering all the major landmarks while allowing us to walk at a relaxed pace. We never felt rushed, and there were plenty of opportunities for restroom breaks. Honestly, Nathalie’s expertise and the overall experience were so impressive that I believe she could easily charge more for this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and highly recommend it!
