I booked mistakenly with ...

Fiona_D, Jul 2025
I booked mistakenly with an Italian guide which we needed English when we arrived in Edinburgh tried to contact them to change to a English guide but didn’t hear back in time so we decided to no show we have had success with our other bookings over this trip

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Fiona, We’re truly sorry that you weren’t able to take the tour in the language you were looking for. We understand how frustrating that must have been. As we are now in the high season of July, most of our scheduled tours are fully booked in advance. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to make last-minute changes once a reservation is confirmed. For this reason, it’s especially important to carefully select the preferred language when making the booking. That said, we’re glad to hear that the rest of your experiences during your trip were successful, and we hope you enjoyed your time in Edinburgh. Wishing you all the best, Kind regards,

Guidando la guida

Stefania_M, Aug 2024
Pessima Guida abbiamo lasciato il gruppo dopo un 'ora . La guida Giada non era minimamente preparata sulla storia della città , nessun approfondimento sui luoghi, monumenti , storia della Scozia . Alle domande che le abbiamo rivolto ha risposto addirittura inventando! Ha cercato inoltre di farci fare sosta in un negozio da lei conosciuto per l.acquisto di sciarpe oltretutto dichiarando che il cashmere è prodotto in Scozia ! Per favore testate le guide e le loro competenze ! Abbiamo solo.perso tempo con un' incompetente!

Airton guida che ci ha fatto innamorare di Edimburgo

Cino_S, Aug 2023
Passeggiata per Edimburgo perfetta per conoscere la città. Indispensabile per poi rivederla con calma avendo punti di riferimento che ci hanno permesso di apprezzarla.

Piacevole giro in città

Federica_C, Aug 2023
Ho fatto il giro a piedi con amici ad Agosto 2023. Ayrton, la nostra guida, è stato molto competente, simpatico e molto preparato. Ci ha fatto visitare parte della città raccontandoci, oltre alla storia, anche vari aneddoti. Consiglio questo giro a tutti.

Bellissima esperienza
