Très bonne organisation. Une guide au top et des propositions de visites intéressantes L’histoire de la ville est riche et son architecture des plus particuliere

THANKS. Walking isn't really my thing, but in Edinburgh, to discover this beautiful city, you have to try it. Frequent stops, with anecdotes, great viewpoints for photos and suggestions for unusual visits for those who still have a few days there. Your guide will be able to recommend a good restaurant (or several depending on your desires), a shopping address to bring back souvenirs and will also allow you to go to bed less stupid. Karine, it was a very pleasant moment in your company and those present for this visit.

Fascinating visit with Aude, who took me into the history of Edinburgh from its earliest days. Royal Mile, the closes, Mary Stuart, Kings James… I began to discover the history of the city and that of Scotland at the same time thanks to Aude.

While traveling with my sister, we felt like we were visiting a friend. Aude knows the city and its history well, full of anecdotes and details told in a good humor. We had a good laugh, the 3 hours passed in no time. Edinburgh is worth coming to meet, it is full of secrets. We recommend the walk with Aude who also uses her tablet to explain or show things that we cannot see! We will come back with our children.

We had a great time with Naomi. A great visit to Edinburgh with the family. If the opportunity arises, we will come back with great pleasure.

We had a great time with Aude our guide, we had just arrived in Edinburgh and took a guided tour with the family. Aude was great, she gave us a three-hour tour of the old town, passing through places that we would never have missed on our own, and was treated to anecdotes about Harry Potter and of course Outlander. I recommend this site with my eyes closed, Karine was very responsive to my questions by email. Everything was perfect.

We had chosen a visit to the Old Town, and we have absolutely no regrets. Our guide Marie was great, full of historical information, but also anecdotes about the city and its legends. It was really perfect, Marie is full of enthusiasm and she tells the story of her adopted city wonderfully. We were with 2 teenagers and they loved it too, despite the 3 hour visit, we didn't see the time passing. And thanks again to Tours et Détours d'Edimbourg for these tours in French, and for allowing us to have a tour that suited our flights.
