We had a great time on this tour! Charlotte was very communicative leading up to the event and then showed up like a trooper even though it was raining and cold. She dressed in costume and knew the city very well. We loved touring the Royal Mile with her!

This tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide was very knowledgable about history and had a lot of fun and interesting stories to tell, she really took her time with us and answered every question we had! We learned a lot about Edinburgh's history, saw interesting sights and visited Outlander filming locations. I would highly recommend this tour (and honestly any tour by this guide, she was amazing!) 10/10
