My friend and I had a wonderful time with our tour guide Alex! He's so funny and very informative about the places we went and we thoroughly enjoyed his tour! 100% would recommend and if you get him, you'll be in good hands!

Don’t book this tour! We arrived and the tour cancelled because of lack of interest. Very frustrating and dissatisfied with poor customer service and last minute cancellation. Don’t book with them or you could be left abandoned in a foreign country. Viator should remove them, we will see if we get a refund!

Alex was really good, he knew his stuff. But instead of a walking tour, it should be a standing tour. I expected a bit larger area to be covered.

Leo was an excellent tour guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. This tour was 3 hours compared to others that were only 1.5 hours. I am glad I did not book the shorter tour because this tour was more comprehensive especially with Leo’s additional stories. Thank you!

All of it . our guild Leo was very good and he really enjoyed talking to us about everything, he was very passionate about Edinburgh and it’s historic past. Some may say that’s his job but he really enjoyed showing us around.
