    We had the most fantastic time on this tour. Sandy was the perfect guide. He was intuitive to us as a group of rowdy women, but also individually when we needed might need something hot to drink or hide from the bitter wind. This really is a luxury tour on all fronts. Sandy was knowledgeable, funny and just a pleasure to be around with his calm and friendly manner. I would rebook this tour in an instance and highly recommend. This is possibly the very best way of seeing and experiencing Edinburgh in all its glory.

    What an exceptional tour this was! Well worth the price! Sandy (our tour guide) was super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and just a nice chap to talk to! He made the tour! We saw all the sites we we hoping to. Filled with tons of information and saw things we probably would haven’t if we didn’t take the tour. Make sure you stop at the little coffee shop in new town for a perfect cup of coffee and short bread! Fleur (?) the owner of the coffee was very nice and an easy talk (and she has an awesome view from her work window!) If/when we come back, we would definitely do another tour with Sandy! Thanks for the great memories! Cheers!

    Our half day tour of Edinburgh was delightful. Our tour guide Sandy was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. He was on time, and communicated through the entire trip if there was anything we would like to know or see. I would have booked more tours with our guide but he was booked the rest of our stay here. 100% recommend. I will book in the future.
