Outstanding, engaging, comprehensive tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

We had an absolute blast while getting a comprehensive yet entertaining tour of Edinburgh and surrounding areas with Scott, whom we recommend in the highest regard! We were very satisfied with the day, which just flew by, seeing many sites but being ery informed of these and associated histories. All of the major highlights of Edinburgh and surroundings are included in this incredible experience.
