Our tour started being picked up right off the dock. We had an informative drive into Edinburgh and then off to wander the miracle mile. Richard was enthusiastic and had a wealth of knowledge on Edinburg history. He also regaled us in stories of the more turbulent and dark stories of the cities history at our request. A stroll through the cemetery was a favorite. Backstreets and Alleys cobblestones and stairs we traversed the old city and Richard answered our many questions. After a deli ou lunch in the city we were off to Hopetoun house. It’s actually a palace in my opinion but nevertheless it is an awe inspiring structure built in 1699. We toured the house and spoke to the knowledgeable staff and learned a great deal about the home and the family. We were then returned to the dock and said our good byes. You can’t go wrong with Richard on this tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Selda is a very good, knowledgeable and amicable guide. She contacted us two days before our tour to find out about our interests and any specific things we wanted to see. On the day of our tour she guided us to the main sights sharing many details about the history of the city and its traditions. She also gave us great tips for shops and restaurants and attended to our interests and desires. We even had tea and special, very lovely tasting mojis stuffed with fresh fruit together. She gave us many great tips for other things to explore and made restaurant reservations for us. The time with her flew by too fast. It felt like time spend with a good friend. We highly recommend going on a tour with her. We feel there is still so much more hidden gems to see and will book her again if we return one day.

Oscar was an excellent guide. He arrived on time and took us through the city. He provided lots of history and background and was also great company.

She included major attractions, but also included cultural and historical information we found very interesting to learn. She kept a good walking pace, not too slow or fast.
