Very nice tour. The guide Charlotte was very enthousiastic and knowledgeable and gave us a small lesson in the history of kings and queens of Scotland and England. The tour was booked for one hour, after 1,5 hours we had to break it off, because we had to catch the ferry, Charlotte was not watching the clock. We enjoyed it very much, learned a lot and highly recommend this tour!

Most enjoyable tour round Old Town Edinburgh greatly helped by very experienced and knowledgeable guide, Charlotte. How does she remember all the dates and stories. Having visited Edinburgh twice in 2022 I knew most of the sites but the stories she brought to life were amazing. Being the only guest on this tour was a bonus I was not expecting. Congratulation to Charlotte for an excellent 1.5 hour tour.
