Testimonials

Our tour guide Nichola was amazing! You could tell from the very beginning how much she loves her home and her heritage, she is a true Scot for sure! She helped us to understand the layout of Edinburgh, gave us a plethora of interesting insights into the city, and left us feeling confident to explore and revisit some of the spots on our own afterwards. We even put her imparted wisdom to the test the next day when we wandered around Edinburgh on our own and I can testify that we made our way around the city with ease! If you are looking for a fun way to "meet" the city of Edinburgh this tour is definitely for you!
