Tom was an excellent guide with many stories to match current location. Be prepared for over 5 miles of exciting interpretation.

Johanna_H

I was able to learn so much about Edinburgh on this walking tour. Our guide Gwen was very knowledgeable and made sure to tailor our experience to our interests. She also gave us plenty of resources and great recommendations for the rest of our stay.

Sara_H

Very knowledgeable and helped me pick out whiskey to take home with me. Enjoyed every minute of the tour and wished it could have lasted longer but the mobility scooter wasn’t cooperating.

Doug_K

We enjoyed exploring the old town with Graham. He did an excellent job guiding us around to see the sites and learn the history of this part of the city. Graham went out of his way to make sure we had a great place to eat dinner that night as well. Also, this company sent us a short survey before our visit to find out what we wanted to see which was helpful and something I wish other guides would do. I highly recommend this tour.

Colin was knowledgeable, funny, and gave us a great tour of Edinburgh. He came directly to our hotel where he waited for us as were late. He was gracious about it and still gave us the full amount of time.

Fedor was very accommodating -- even though I could not walk very far, and certainly not fast, we were able to cover alot in the short amount of time. I got a pretty good taste of the city center.

Patricia Ann S

Enjoyed the beautiful weather. Glad I had a tour guide to take me through the areas that I could walk. Would have loved to spend more time

Our tour was very informative. We definitely covered off all the key tourist attractions on our walk. This was a great way to see the city and learn about it one on one.
