Experience the best of
Scotland with Withlocals

"Chris was knowledgeable, interesting and comfortable in his surroundings. Best thing we did was book a tour with him. He was excellent. "

"Chris grew up in Edinburgh and has a wealth of local history and experience to share. He is easy to connect with, authentic and provided our family with a great start to our Scotland adventure! Thanks Chris! "

"Seeing Edinburgh for the first time was an incredible experience, having Alice our guide bring it to life with her knowledge of its history and her storytelling ability made it a day that my family will remember forever! "

"We enjoyed our time with Russel He was patient, very knowledgeable And we had a great time learning a lot! "

"The 10 Tastings of Edinburgh tour with Mark was like spending the afternoon with an old friend. We were instantly at ease with Mark and therefore comfortable trying all suggested Scottish foods. We tried foods we never would have on our own plus visited eateries and pubs off the beaten path. Thank you for expanding our palate, Mark! We hope to be back for another tour soon. "

"We had a really great time with Mark who was knowledgeable, funny and great with our 17 year old. "

"I had just arrived in Edinburgh the previous afternoon. Chris met me at my hotel and off we went, through the beautiful Princes Street Gardens and around the back of the Castle. Chris covered the geology of E which explained the up and down nature of the tour. We had a quick lunch in the Grassmarket and then explored some more. The 5 hours went quickly. Chris had a list of things he wanted to include and fascinating stories for each. His knowledge and love for this city was obvious. He was friendly, organized, easy to follow and understand. He gave me options when we hit any stairs. Luckily, I do some stairs a few times a week at home, but I had to take a breather several time up these stairs! In conclusion, thanks, Chris. Anyone taking your tour would find it worthwhile and enjoyable! "

"We enjoyed the food tour with Mark. He did a good job of introducing local foods and explaining the history of these foods. The tour was relaxed and Mark added a bit of history as we walked around Old Town Edinburgh. "

"Monica made the tour very interesting and enjoyable. She figured out our pace quickly and adjusted. She was able to fill in an incredible amount of backstory and history! Thanks Monica! "

"Alice took us for a three hour walk starting in the new town and finishing at the castle. She was an excellent story teller that knew the history and explained everything in an entertaining way. She was very flexible to our needs. Highly recommended."
