Learned to Love Edinburgh!!

Jonnie_S, Apr 2025

This was an awesome four hour tour by Scott! He is very knowledgeable and has a tremendous sense of humor. We learned so much about Edinburgh and actually decided it’s one of our all-time favorite cities. We very much recommend this 4 hour tour with Scott when you’re in Edinburgh!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We're so glad you had such a fun time with him! We're so happy to hear that Edinburgh is one of your all-time favourite cities and that you came away having learned so much. Your kind words truly mean the world to us—thank you! We hope to welcome you back on another Travel Curious adventure soon. And if you snapped any photos during your tour, we’d absolutely love to see them!
