    Had an amazing tour with Ross on the 26th of March. Ross shares his knowledge of the (spooky) city with great enthusiasm, energy and passion. From the start Ross made us feel comfortable and at ease. Next time I am in Edinburgh, I am gonna book this tour again and definitely recommend this tour to everybody.

    Ross was charismatic and charming. His knowledge of the city was great and his dramatic delivery made it even more amusing especially when discussing the blood gore and guts of Edinburgh.

    Ross was an excellent tour guide. He has endless energy, great wit, and is extremely knowledgeable in his craft. This tour may benefit from being 30 minutes shorter, but even with the length Ross kept every story engaging and hit many impressive historical sites. I recommend highly.
