Booked Joe the evening before! He was flexible with us on timing as we ran a little late getting out of the hotel. Joe offered an entertaining and educational walk all over Edinburgh. We were very impressed and so glad we hired him!! Don’t be deterred by his limited reviews. We were lucky to find him. Thanks Joe, we took all the history and fun facts with us across Scotland!

Fantastic Experience with Laura
Laura was a great communicator, a sweet lady and truly knows Edinburgh. We did a Gems tour on day 1 and Castle tour on day 2. Everything went according to plan and exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend her!

Alice was a charming and knowledgeable guide and an absolutely brilliant storyteller. She really did a great job of noticing what interested us the most and focusing on those things more, but also introducing us to things we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Thanks again Alice!

I had a lovely time with Laura. I landed at 7:00 a.m. in Scotland and our tour began at 10:30. A.m. As this was the last minute trip, I had not done much research on any particular sites or interest they had. I did tell her I enjoyed learning about the local history, culture, and HP as I knew this was a Harry Potter inspiration site and I had grown up on the books of Harry Potter, the original generation I might add. She volunteers at Greyfriars Kirk as well as a lover of History so she is a vast wealth of knowledge and provided the finer details of some of the sites that I would have otherwise missed. She gave some great recommendations along the way as well. And in general just gave me a good orientation to Edinburgh and enriched it with local history. I would highly recommend choosing Laura.
