An amazing private tour of Scotland’s St Andrews and small fishing village - Our private day tour with Ed was amazing! Since we booked the private tour, Ed worked with us to include additional time for the stops most important to us. The day trip included a short stop at Anstruther (a small fishing village), tue town of St Andrews (cathedral and castle ruins, the university, a longer stop at St Andrews Old Course, and a brief stop at Queensferry on the way back. The quality of this tour was top notch all thanks to Ed. He easily shared historical notes of interest, additional context where needed, and well placed humor along the way. He knew all the best places for those Kodak moments. He was an excellent driver, and we felt safe the entire time. He even brought extra bottled water, which came in handy. When we return, we will definitely be booking again with Ed Private Tours!! Our family thanks you for a fabulous day Ed!!

Excursion was cut short due to fog but Ed made sure we got to see the most important stop to us! - Ed was very accommodating to our plans. He waited 3 1/2 hours while the port was closed to our ships tenders.

Ed in Edinburgh - Ed was the perfect tour guide and skillfully arranged for the specific sites we wanted to see. Additionally, prior to our tour, Ed researched the home of my ancestors and provided good insight. We found Ed to be knowledgeable, courteous, professional and kind. The vehicle was perfect for our outing. We would love to utilize Ed in the future if we again travel to the Edinburgh area!
