Incredible overview of the city! - We had a fabulous time touring Edinburgh with our tour guide Andy! He was full of historical knowledge and fun facts to share. He made stops in meaningful locations, giving us a chance to take in the beauty and old-worldliness of the area. He had great humor and gave us a fantastic feel for the full scope of the city, which we later explored in more depth on foot each day! Thank you Andy!

Vast and rich with history and sights. - 100/100 great experience and highly recommended. We had the pleasure of riding with Andy and he’s pure breed local and passionate about Edinburghs rich culture. Andys knowledge of lore and history is vast and exciting. Our tour was an especially rainy day so we were lucky to have a comfortable and dry vehicle to go exploring with - otherwise we would have never been able to see so much in such a short time.

A Perfect Way to Discover Edinburgh! - Andy gave us the perfect tour of Edinburgh, covering all of the highlights, but also sharing many of his personal favorite parts of the city along with wonderful anecdotes and other trivia tidbits. We brought along my mother-in-law and father-in-law who are both in their 80s. Andy handled the situation brilliantly, allowing my wife and I a chance to wander from the van at times while he entertained them with stories of life in Edinburgh. Andy is a gifted tour guide who knows how to make four hours fly by!
