We had an amazing day with Ed. We learned so much and can’t recommend the tour or Ed enough! He went above and beyond with recommendations and suggestions.

Wow! Where to begin. Ed was an amazing experience! He’s so well informed and entertaining. He walked around with us at all of the sights ( St Andrews, Dungeness, queens ferry). His personal attention and knowledge was so generous and always interesting. He really loves Scotland and it shows. We could not have had a more perfect experience. Please consider Ed for any excursions in Edinburgh and surroundings. You won’t regret it. Treat yourself to a perfect day in Edinburgh!
