Unforgettable Journey with Stephen Maloney - I was warmly greeted by Stephen Maloney on my solo guided tour of Edinburgh. I felt completely welcomed and we just hit it off and had a fantastic start of the day. He was extremely knowledgeable of Edinburgh and its history and also explained historical detail which was amazing. He was always looking to see what we could do next which he never once disappointed me with all of his insight. He truly went out of his way to make sure I had the best experience. His willingness to help and guide you really comes through in everything he does. At the end of the day, I felt I made a friend in Scotland and will do my best to visit again.

Lovely Tour with Alan! - We had a great tour: I saw more in four hours than I did in the four days of my last visit! Alan was a super guide, tailoring the trip around our wants (and my slight mobility issues).

Go to Scotland, Fall in Love with Edinburgh- and BOOK THE TOUR WITH STEPHEN! - Scotland was an absolutely incredible experience! It was the best family vacation we have ever taken and will be forever cherished. Our private tour with Stephen was our first full day in Scotland and encompassed many of our favorite moments throughout our travels. Stephen was a joy to work with before the trip- very responsive, generous with ideas and answering questions and willing to customize the itinerary to make the most of our time. Edinburgh showed off its rainy side the day of our tour, but Stephen made the entire day so much fun. He came prepared with snacks and umbrellas, always had an alternative plan and was a delight to be around. At every stop, we enjoyed secret views, heard rich history, learned about regional culture, and he made us laugh all day! He was an AMAZING personal photographer and snuck in many candid shots throughout the day. Our time in the van between stops was full of laughter, insights about the area and local lore. He gave us the best advice on places to visit on the rest of our Scotland adventure- sites, restaurants, etc. It felt like we spent the day with a favorite family member that happened to live in amazing Edinburgh and knew all the best places to go! Go to Scotland, fall in love with Edinburgh and, most importantly, book a tour with Stephen! You will make the best memories!

Wonderful Tour - Thank you, Stephen, for a great four-hour tour of your beautiful city, and for taking us to very interesting places that we wouldn’t have known about had it not been for your knowledge of them. We enjoyed your lighthearted personality and generosity. It felt like an old friend was giving us a tour. We hope to see you again on our next visit to Edinburgh.

Best Tour in Scotland - Tremendous tour! Stephen our guide was friendly accommodating, knowledgeable and funny. He had water and snacks when we started the those and provided more through out. He took us to many places for the views and places of historical significance. He catered the trip to our wishes and desires and it is clear that while we wanted to discuss history which he did most excellently, he also knew all the spots for the best photos and for the selfie and instagram generation. We learned that there is a part of Edinburgh that is quite lovely place to live right in the middle of the big city. The tour was wonderful, Edinburgh as Stephen showed us is beautiful with many surprises and we had a great time. We highly recommend Stephen for tour of Edinburgh and frankly the whole of Scotland he does it all. Most excellent!! If I could give 10 stars I would. This is a tour that you want to take so book now he is popular.

Great Edinburgh Tour - We have been on a lot of guided tours and rate this a 10. Stephen our guide made it a 10 because he checked in with us the day before, was on time, had water and snacks for us because it was an all day tour and asked what we were most interested in seeing before setting off. His knowledge of Scotland and Edinburgh was extensive and he made sure he balanced how much walking and driving we were comfortable with. Great Tour and a great guide.

Great Edinburgh Tour Guide - Stephen is an exceptional guide, as well as driver. He took us to amazing places that we wouldn’t have not been able to see on our own. He’s quite knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, flexible, and very thoughtful. Next time we’re in Edinburgh, we’ll certainly book with Edinburgh Cab Tours again!

We highly recommend Stephen and hope we get the chance to return and book him again. Thank you so much. - Stephen picked us up at the port which was very helpful and saved time. He was terrific. He asked what we were interested in and took as to see lots of sights. The weather was not great but together we made it work and then as it did start to rain He coordinated with us so we could have a delicious lunch at a place he recommended and he came back and took us back to our ship
