The tranquility and natural beauty of Dean Village is a welcome contrast to the hectic street life and bagpipes of High Street. David is a gracious and thoughtful guide who brought us to the hidden gems within this peaceful area. He regaled us with stories while leading us through the old area, where he had childhood memories of the early days. His eye for the telling detail and his filmmaker’s vision gave us glimpses of another way of life. As we admired the artistic memorials in a quiet cemetery, David told us the stories of these early inhabitants of the area. A short break at the modern art museum revealed several startlingly beautiful sculptures in unexpected settings. A walk on a secluded path along the tranquil waters of Leith belied the flow of traffic nearby. All in all we enjoyed a refreshing break from the hectic pace of travel and felt that we not only discovered hidden treasures but also made a new friend in our kind guide. He even helped us buy the tram tickets at the end of our route and waited until we were safely aboard. Treasured memories.

Hi Kathleen & family, thank you so much for this wonderful review, it means such a lot to me and I deeply appreciate it :-)
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all - you were such a joy to be with and I'm glad you enjoyed the peace & tranquility of the walk along the river in the village. It's a really special place and we're truly lucky in Edinburgh to have such lovely gems like this.
Thank you so much for booking me and I really hope to meet you all again one day soon and show you more. Stay in touch and a big heartfelt thank you to you all.
Warmest best wishes & thanks,
David

What an amazing experience. David our guide was beyond brilliant. He knew so much and taught us so much. We visited areas we would never have seen on our own. He taught us how to take some amazing photos using our iPhones. We really wanted to spend more time with him because of his knowledge of Edinburgh. What a brilliant operator. Thanks David we hope to book you again.
