"Eric was very informative and really knew his history! Loved hearing his many stories-truth and fiction! Answered all of our questions and would highly recommend "

"She is very patient with children, answers all questions seriously, and is enthusiastic throughout the journey, making it a very enjoyable trip. "

"It was such a pleasure being with Laura for our Edinburgh walking tour. Laura is a gem! We so enjoyed Laura’s insights, historical knowledge, and love of Edinburgh through lovely inspired stories and interesting facts. We all wholeheartedly recommend Laura for your guide and wish she was with us through our other journeys just as a fun friend."

"Neil knows the best views, restaurants and neat places to pop in for more info about Robert Louis Stevenson. He was very patient with ALL our questions picture taking and encouraged us to try haggis. We actually liked it! The hours flew by because we were having such a good time. He recommended other things for us to do in our own as well. HIGHLY recommend!"

"We had a fabulous tour of Edinburgh with Joe. He reached out before the tour to find out our interests and to ask if there was anything in particular we wanted to see. He told us about the history of Edinburgh and stories about some of its characters! He showed us some great places off the beaten path. Not to mention he shared some great recommendations. Highly recommend Joe! Thanks Joe!"

"Thank you, Alice, for a fascinating couple of hours. You certainly know how to tell a good story, and it is always a pleasure to listen to someone, who not only knows what they are talking about, but who clearly enjoys what they are doing as well. You made old Edinburgh come alive for me, thank you. Will hopefully be back before too long, with my wife this time, and we will certainly look to book with you again. Many thanks Craig Dobson"

"I always take the time to look at all of the tour guides available for the time of day and the day that I would like to go on a tour in the city I’m in. All of the tour guides seem to have good qualities so it’s a little tricky to pick the right one, but if you pick Alice, you won’t be sorry. I think Alice’s best quality was her storytelling ability. She’s very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed her company very much. She really knows a lot about Edinburgh. If you select her as your guide for the city, you will not be sorry. Thank you Alice for showing us your city! "

"Our personal tour of Edinburgh with Alice was nothing short of fantastic. She’s got that rare gift of blending history with humor — one minute we were learning about the scandals of the time , next we were laughing about medieval mishaps. Her storytelling made the city come alive; it felt less like a tour and more like time-traveling with a witty local friend. We saw hidden gems, heard tales you won’t find in guidebooks, and even learned how manage to avoid many stairs!! If you’re looking for a guide who’s fun, informative, and full of character — Alice is your person!"

"We have found food tours to be outstanding in that they give more information about the city not just the food and the tour with Alec was no exception. We learned so many interesting facts and stories about Edinburgh. It was tailored to our interests and flowed perfectly. We spend the second day in Edinburgh exploring in detail all the interesting places Alec shared with us. Outstanding tour. One of the best we have ever done. Highly recommend."

"Thank You for guiding us through the wonderful city! We enjoyed it very much!"
