Helen made our days in Edinburgh, she is a wonderful tour guide full of passion, great entertainer and such a great storyteller. Is a Free tour but she deserved the best, go with her and you will see shy. Don't miss the ghost tour we went on a graveyard to know facts about witches, murders, underground vaults and all the...

We were extremely lucky: It turned out to be a private tour. Of ourse, on other days there will be more people taking part. We were a bit faster than bigger groups. Joe was a great guide, showed us everything interesting and important and answered all of our questions. The price of 7 GBP is reasonable for such a great... More

The tour itself was informative and unearthed stories of the city I would never have otherwise known. Even my children who are often hard to entertain, throughly enjoyed it and the guide made sure...

Our guide had not the personality, knowledge, or diction to be in such a role. He was plainly following a script but had virtually no breadth of knowledge. The script itself was also weak and did not successfully manage to weave a collection of disparate facts into a compelling and diverting narrative. There were plainly some factual errors: "..the wealthy... More

Peter was an amazing tour guide and took us all around Old and New Edinburgh. His stories were amazing and rich with history. Peter also gave us the tour in the traditional Scottish kilt! This tour is great for visitors who are only staying for a couple of days and want to explore the city in ways that you wouldn't... More
