Must do on your 1st day ! - He was very thorough, wasn’t watching his clock …. You tell him your interests and he shows you everything there is too see and more.

Great tour of Edinburgh - Great way to get an overview of the beautiful city of Edinburgh in four hours with a very knowledgable guide. Saf obviously loves the town and its rich history. He’s a skilled driver and knows how to take great photos of his customers capturing the best scenic views in the background.

Awesome Experience Touring Edinburgh with Mr Saf - Mr. Saf embodies the quintessential Scottish host! His profound knowledge of the country's history is truly impressive. Punctual, impeccably presented, respectful, and wonderfully humorous, he delivers a highly professional yet incredibly kind experience. My group would enthusiastically award him ten stars if we could. For an Edinburgh tour that consistently exceeds expectations, Mr. Saf is an unparalleled choice. Highly recommend!

Great Cab Tour - My husband and I enjoyed very much the Black Cab sightseeing tour in Edinburgh with our wonderful driver/guide Saf. He showed us the old and new town of Edinburgh and was not only a very skilled driver in the crowded streets but also a very competent guide with a great knowledge of Edinburgh‘s history. We appreciated very much, that he looked to match the itinery with our wishes and needs. Thank you Saf ! Barbara and Hermann

Custom tour without the crowds! - Our tour guide Saf was excellent. We wanted to see the highlights without all the crowds. We did not want to do a lot of walking and have flexibility to stop when we needed. Saf cheerfully satisfied all our needs. We were met at the pier on time. The cab was spacious, well maintained and stocked with goodies. We toured the town and saw the Calton Hill, the Royal Mile, Holyrood Castle, Arthur's Seat and more. I highly recommend this tour.
