Our guide Jimmy told us...
Our guide Jimmy told us lots of stories and history. He made sure to take time to stop for lots of pictures as well as little breaks for our kid. You definitely cover a lot of ground this way and get to see as much of the countryside as possible in just a day.

Great shore excursion
Great private tour of Edinburgh with Sandy and Debbie. It felt like we were with knowledgeable friends. Van was very comfortable. Very relaxed and entertaining tour. Offered to drop us off in town or cruise port. If I was visiting Edinburgh again Sandy would be my first call.

We loved our walking tour...
We loved our walking tour with Lilia! We learned soooo much about an Edinburgh. It felt like we went at a very nice pace and it was really interactive and informative. Excellent introduction to a new city!! Definitely would recommend. We did 3 hours which was great for enough information at not too fast a pace.

Great way to see the Scottish Hiands
A long day (12 hours), but absolutely worth it! We got to see the beauty of the Highlands, explore Loch Ness and meet and feed some absolutely adorable Highland Cows. Shak was our guide/driver and he made the day absolutely wonderful. He had the van stocked with water, sodas and tons of Scottish snacks. He also had carrots for the cows! He took great pictures, had recommendations on what to see and was great chatting with my 11 and 13 year old boys. It was a day we will all remember!

Wonderful tour to get us acquainted with Edinburgh and see the major sites on the first day of our visit. Saf (our guide) made sure we were comfortable, took great photos and was very thoughtful and accommodating with my special needs teenager. Highly highly recommend booking this tour! Would rate 10 out of 5 stars if possible!

An absolutely phenomenal...
An absolutely phenomenal full day tour of the highlands and Loch Ness! Noel was an incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable guide who made us comfortable, graciously took photos for us, and even stitched together a short recap video of our stops. We can't recommend his hospitality enough!

James was a fabulous...
James was a fabulous guide for our 2 hour walking tour through Edinburgh. Very engaging with many historical and interesting stories about all the different sites. Highly recommend! Would note that the tour did not end back at our hotel even though this was how it was advertised.

Great way to see Edinburgh
There are 3 different bus routes, each one traveling to see some different places, so over 2 days, we went on all 3 routes, and we loved it. On 2 of the busses, there was pre-recorded commentary and on one, we had a very interesting and entertaining Scottish man telling us about everything we were seeing. He had some funny stories to tell and really made for an educational ride. We loved the overview of Edinburgh so we knew what we wanted to go back to later and explore.

Mally is the guide you want!
Mally was a great tour guide! He is an amazing story teller. Kept us so interested as we walked and he shared anecdotes and the history of the place. Never felt rushed as we walked from one place to another. His knowledge and his delivery ... just a great tour.

A great way to experience your first taste of Edinburgh...
Stuart, our unforgettable, devil may care tour guide! What a great way to experience our first taste of Edinburgh. Stuart was a great guide, with a great car to accommodate our family. His knowledge of the major tourist areas and beautiful vistas, coupled with his willingness to go off the beaten path were exactly the experience we were hoping for. Stuart was a perfect private tour guide, making the experience great for the whole family, including my father who has some ambulatory concerns. I highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful tour of Edinburgh Castle in the city
Our guide, Hugo was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. We enjoyed our time with him and all of the unique and insightful stories. He had the history of both both Edinburgh Castle, and the city. We would highly recommend this tour, it was a great and unique experience. I think Hugo could’ve gone to whatever level of detail and depth if we wanted at each spot, but there is just so much to see and learn about and he did an excellent job weaving in and out of history through his stories and narrative.
Really can’t say enough about how good this experience was.
Thank you Hugo!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
When you’re visiting Edinburgh for the first time, trying to cover the centuries of history that have shaped Scotland's capital can feel daunting. Instead of relying on your phone or guidebook, delve deeper into the city's heritage on an Edinburgh private sightseeing tour. You'll experience the city through the eyes of a local, either by walking or driving, and can tailor your tour to include local food tasting or even cover filming locations on a Harry Potter-themed tour.
