Awesome way to know the city
We definitely recommend a private tour with Alec for the first moment you arrive in Edinburgh. We enjoyed the whole tour from the first moment and it was a great start to our long weekend. It was very informative and interesting. It was lovely to hear all the stories from Alec.

Edinburgh with a pro!
Our time in Edinburgh was really special thanks to Alec. In our short time together, he shared many of Edinburgh’s hidden gems and interesting historical stories. We would never have learned all of the neat things he shared roaming Edinburgh on our own. We can’t say enough great things about Alec and his fun, energetic personality. We will be back to tour with Alec again!

Fun and knowledgeable tour
My daughter and I had a lovely time with Alec despite the not so welcoming weather (rain and hail). He had answers to all our questions and was pleasant to listen to. He was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. We highly recommend him.

Exceptional guide & tour!
Alec was a delight. Witty, professional and knowledgeable- couldn’t ask for anything more from a tour. We had the best time learning about Edinburgh from him. Absolutely book Alec.

Excellent time!
Alec was a few minutes late but all was forgiven when it was because the King was in town (and last minute road closure) as his procession went right past the meeting point!
Alec was a informative, intelligent, articulate and funny- a good time was had by the 3 of us!

Wonderful Day
Niamh has an engaging personality and is an incredible story teller. We learned many dark and odd secrets of Edinburgh’s most famous characters. As a local, she has more inside knowledge and experiences than most. Added bonus - she has a beautiful voice as she sang a folk song during our walk.
