Experience Day Trips in Edinburgh with Withlocals

"Neil was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He was able to answer every question we had on the tour. He even took us to spots that we requested that were not on the original itinerary. Neil also gave us many tips for things to do in Edinburgh as well. Thank you Neil!!"

"My family of three enjoyed our time with David. We booked two tours with him during our time in Scotland. I wish we had known how fabulous his tour was going to be. I would have planned the rest of our time differently. David is extremely kind and went out of his way to provide us with a comfortable, flexible trip. I enjoy learning as much as I can when traveling to another country. David is extremely knowledgeable and eager to share his wisdom. An addition to the trip, he provided us with opportunities to try Scottish cuisine and yummy snacks during our drive. An example, we had heard that we needed to try million dollar shortbread. As a kind gesture, while we were on a tour, he went to a cafe and purchased it for us to try. Really a genuine person with a passion to share his knowledge of his homeland. "

"Neil was very informative and a real pleasure to spend the day with. He allowed us to change our itinerary so we could visit Blair Castle as well as the distillery at Blair Athol, which is our family castle and distillery."

"We had picked Monica specifically because her bio mentioned a bubbly personality, and she was exactly that! Our tour of the highlands was everything we had hoped for and more. From the moment Monica picked us up in old town Edinburgh, she was a fount of knowledge for every building and landmark we passed and every question we asked. The tour was specific to our interests; even as we were driving Monica was tweaking our experience as we talked and she got to know us, so that we would see what we would enjoy most. We were given lunch options so that we could eat when we were hungry rather than at a pre determined spot. We managed to stay clear of tourists for the most part. And our takeaway was that the car ride was as much a treasured part of the experience as was the jaw droppingly beautiful sights we saw. Our tour with Monica was worth every cent! We hope to have the opportunity to tour with her again!!!"

"David ran an amazing tour for our group, customizing to ensure we had a great experience. History, stories, and fun along the way, with the best place we had in Scotland at the stop for lunch. Hairy coos and castles, local tastes and sights, what more could you want from a beautiful day!"

"We had the delightful pleasure of having Alec as our guide in Edinburg and St Andrew’s. He provided fascinating historical antidotes and pointed out many stunning sites. He possesses a generous spirit, and it was evident throughout our 10 hours with him that he genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge and expertise in Scottish history!!"

"He tailored our tour to our specific requests. He was very informative, friendly and personable. We had such an amazing day with Dave! Highly recommend!! "

"My mother and I spent 11 hours (round trip via car from Edinburgh) touring the highlands with Justin and it exceeded our expectations! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and tailored the experience especially according to our interests. He also knew the best spot to stop for delicious scones and tea along the way! I would highly recommend Justin to anyone who wants an extra special private tour. "

"We had a wonderful day with David, he was such an outstanding host and guide. David had treats and tea on hand for us, and gave us an awesome overview of some historical highlights. David made sure we had time to enjoy the park and was flexible to our needs and interests. We had a great day with David, definitely a highlight of our trip."

"Ross is simply amazing. Don’t plan on the trip as advertised. There is so much more and not enough time. Ross did an amazing job of managing a schedule to our specific goals and will plan as much or as little as you want. Transportation was very nice, Mercedes Van with plenty of space. Ross’s knowledge and communication are better tag we expected and we could not be happier with our day together. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!"
