Saf was wonderful. We had such a personalized and detailed experience. He met us at our hotel and gave us an overview of what we were going to see. He asked us what we wanted and where we had been already. We then went to his brand new comfortable tour van and he drove nto places that only a local with experience as a tour guide could do. He backed up into cobblestone walkways, drove through crowds to get us to Edinburgh castle, showed us a beautiful river community and other gems we would never have experienced without him. He is constantly researching the history of Edinburgh and is a wealth of knowledge. You can tell he is so proud of Edinburgh and is so enthusiastic and excited to share interesting stories, history, and places. His laugh is infectious. He also is a wonderful photographer and my favorite pictures of us and the beautiful city are the ones he took. I was sad our family could not have come with us to experience it. Well worth the price.

Mr Saf gave us on absolutely superb half day city tour of Edinburgh. Our guide was knowledgeable & entertaining. He know and loves the history of the city & his tours are both interesting & entertaining. He is a very charming & witty person to spend time with and he had a great support with our kids. Thank you, Mr Saf, for a terrific Morning.

Johnny was very knowledgeable and incredibly kind. We had our 6 year grandson with us and he went out of his way to make sure we saw things that would be of interest to a little boy. He was well versed in all areas in Edinburgh (we have been here 5 times) and he took us to places we had never even heard about. I would highly recommend this tour, and I would certainly give Johnny 5 stars for this tour.

Guide was very nice, helpful and communicated well beforehand. He was not native to Scotland with a heavy accent that was hard to understand at times.
