Great HP and old town tour
Wonderful tour and well planned HP questions and competition among four houses. Despite the huge rain during our tour, our guide, Leo, was very professional and positive. He made the trip so fun to participate and he treated the kids very well with lots of respect and entertainment as well. I also learned a lot about harry potter books and films.

Excellent tour of both the Royal Mile AND Castle!
A spectacular tour! The one tour you must do!! Perfect history lesson of Edinburgh and Scotland, not overwhelming, easy to follow and Calam tells it with a good mix of humor and passion. We spent most of the time on the Royal Mile and a perfect small amount on/ inside the castle!
Perfect stops to rest. Gave good instructions where to watch your step and how to follow him so we didn’t lose him in the crowd. Headphones to hear his narration was fabulous!!

Rory was one of our best...
Rory was one of our best and most knowledgeable guides we have had. His enthusiasm for Edinburgh and its history inspired us to want to return to this beautiful city as well do more research on historical Edinburgh. I would recommend this tour very highly.

A Fantastic Way to Discover Edinburgh!
We did the two-hour walking tour in the afternoon, and honestly, we could have kept going for another couple of hours!
We love history and discovering the hidden stories and legends behind a city, and Kieran was the perfect guide for that. He shared lots of fascinating stories about Edinburgh and pointed out things we would never have noticed on our own. His sense of humor made the tour both entertaining and engaging, so we learned a lot while having some laughs along the way.
As Outlander and Harry Potter fans, we also enjoyed hearing about Edinburgh's connections to both worlds, as well as learning about other movies and TV series that were inspired by the city. It made the tour even more interesting for us.
We had a short time in Edinburgh, and this tour was the perfect way to get to know the city beyond simply walking around its beautiful streets. Edinburgh is such a beautiful and magical place, and you can really feel that atmosphere as you explore it. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. Don't hesitate to book it—you won't regret it!

Koffe was amazing! Definitely worth requesting.
This was a great tour! Super informative with hidden fun facts about Edinburgh… but the highlight by far was out tour guide Koffe! He was amazing, energetic and passionate. Highly recommend and if you can request him for any tour in Edinburgh, it will be well worth it!

Edinburgh Castle
My son and I had a great tour experience. Raj was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. I will highly recommend it if you didn’t book tickets on time. I have visited the castle before without a guide and missed things, but Raj made sure to explain which places to visit in the castle after the tour.

Wonderful tour!
Cal did a wonderful job taking us around Old Town. He has so much knowledge about the city and truly loves living in Edinburgh. He gave us a dinner recommendation and even ended our tour there to ensure we were taken care of. Great service!! Cal has a very thick Italian accent that was a little difficult for us to understand, but that’s our fault for only speaking English. Cal is a great ambassador for Edinburgh! So energetic, kind, and full of great information!

Our underground ghost...
Our underground ghost tour in Edinburgh was easily one of the highlights of our trip.Walking through the subterranean vaults beneath South Bridge felt like stepping back in time. The atmosphere down there is incredibly intense—it is pitch-black, chilly, damp, and genuinely unsettling even before the stories start.Our guide Cassandra was fantastic. They were the perfect mix of theatrical storyteller and historian, blending dark humor with grim facts about Edinburgh’s history of plague, body-snatchers, and extreme poverty. It felt much more authentic than a cheap "jump scare" house; the fear comes from the history and the oppressive silence of the stone rooms. Cassandra was great!

Wonderful tour for Harry Potter fans
This tour covered many interesting facts about the development of the Harry Potter series. Though there is no actual filming site in Edinburgh, it’s very interesting to see the areas that may have been used as inspiration for the books.
Kirsty was an excellent guide for our Harry Potter walking tour. She not only knew the tour information , she was also a Harry Potter fan! This made the tour so much more fun. I would recommend to all but we warned it is quite a walk!

Edinburgh Walking Tour
James is an excellent tour guide with extensive knowledge of Edinburgh history. Once he learned of my physical limitations, he was able to curate a tour that would accommodate me. We visited several spots that were off the beaten path and thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the everyday life of Edinburgh’s citizens throughout the ages. I would highly recommend this tour with James.

City break activities
Charlie provided us with a very personable, informative, entertaining walk around the Old Town of Edinburgh. We used the information he provided during the walk to navigate our way the following day to some of the places he suggested. Thank you Charlie

11/10 tour, props to Kieran!
Kieran was our guide and we had an amazing time. He knows so many small details and explained everything thoroughly. He also speaks in a very clear way, which makes it easy to understand him even if English isn’t your first language. Overall, he’s a great guy: likable, friendly, and he makes you feel comfortable right away. Asking questions doesn't feel awkward, even if you’re shy or introverted like I am. Honestly, this was probably the best tour I’ve ever had. We saw beautiful places, including some lesser known spots, learned so much history and tiny details that are often overlooked, and even got to meet a wonderful local. I’d 100% recommend the tour and especially Kieran!
