5.00What a great day! Alan picked us up at our hotel and whisked us off to a day filled with new friends, historic sites, great food, and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo! He planned it all and got us our tickets for the Tattoo. He is so knowledgeable about the history of the area, and we learned a lot. And he seemed to know everyone personally wherever we went! After dinner at a historic pub, we were brought as close to the venue as he could get us, gave us directions on where to find our seats, and was waiting to take us to our hotel right after. This was a wonderful tour!
A wonderful Scottish Experience

5.00Have been waiting since 2019 to take this tour. Finally fulfilled in early August 2025. A wonderful day exploring Edinburgh, Rosslyn Chapel, dinner and the Tattoo. We were fortunate to have Alan Fee as our escort. Added to the experience with his knowledge and humor. Diner was amazing. Make sure you try the Haggis. It is good. Just don't ask about the ingredients as it might scare you away. We had a serving for the table and each tried a bit with our weee Dram. Again, surprisingly good. Tattoo was amazing and can now check the bucket list item off. That you Alan for a wonderful day.
A fabulous day in Edinburgh

5.00What a truly superb experience, the show is fantastic and the staff couldn't be more helpful. My Wife had a medical emergency and it looked as if we would have to return to our Hotel, but after she had been attended to by a a paramedic, the Steward staff very kindly found us an alternative place to sit. It was a wonderful experience that we will never forget
Exceptional day and very worth while!

5.00Our day started with a cruise pier pick up and short drive into Edinburgh and city tour. We had time to stop at a few sights for a few minutes but the streets were so crowded! When I mentioned that I am an Outlander fan, Allen pointed out "Printer's Alley" and I was able to go for photos there. The time spent at Rosslyn Chapel was well worth it; what a treasure! We especially enjoyed the talk given by the docents explaining the history of the chapel. The grounds are beautiful and it is a lovely respite from the crowds of Edinburgh during the festival. Next we were off to an early dinner in a local pub which was quiet and welcoming. The food was excellent as were the drinks. The culmination of the evening and why we were here was for the Tattoo!. The Tattoo was a truly remarkable experience that did not disappoint. The variety of performances was outstanding and truly met my expectations for that "once in a lifetime" event. Our guide, Allen, provided great commentary and historical information and handled a mishap at the entrance to the stadium quite well and to our satisfaction. He has been in this business for a number of years and is very experienced and flexible to handle unexpected situations. It is a very crowded way in so allow plenty of time for the walk if you don't have a great private driver like we did! We did get a light rain while there but came prepared with rain ponchos and other rain gear. There was a short wait after the event to be picked up inside the empty stadium but this too was so convenient. I would highly recommend Ecosse and Allen for any travel arrangements. I would attend the Edinburgh Military Tattoo again, given the opportunity.
Great time!!! We loved the day we spend in Edinburgh. Al was great!!!

5.00The Roy Military Tattoo on Saturday night was spectacular. And the entire day visiting Edinburgh as well and The Rossyln Chapel and dinner was perfect. Could not have been better. A lot of the success of the trip was our guide/driver, Al! He did an outstanding job and should be commended. Please relay to him that we really appreciated all he did for us.
Professional and the Highlight of our visit to Edinburgh
