Our yesterday tour with Doug was poor. To have your guide taking out the “walking tour of Edinburgh “ book in order to answer your questions is really mediocre and we felt trapped for the amount of money we paid. We could have done the walk by ourself. We didn’t see or discover secrets of Edinburgh, except the church where the Queen goes and the old University entrance (actual law school). A &G Black

Our host has in depth knowledge about Edinburgh. She managed to show us around and filled us with facts and tales about the city. It's a great fun three hours tour. A 'MUST DO' if you're a first time visitor there.
