Highlight of our trip!

Shana_K, Apr 2025

We had a fantastic time on this tour and are so happy that it caught our eye on Viator. Julian was an amazing guide, and he did a really good job of taking the walk at our pace with frequent stops for bird spotting. The walk was mostly flat, which made it easy to traverse. Julian was so knowledgeable about nature and the history of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas we explored. This experience was an amazing view into many varied areas we would never have explored otherwise. He provided high-quality binoculars and even different whiskies for a tasting which really elevated the experience. We were able to identify 21 different types of bird that we saw along our journey! He definitely inspired us to become bird watchers at home, and we ordered our own local guide book and binoculars as soon as we returned! Julian was extremely easy to communicate with, you can definitely let him know ahead of time how long you have to spend on this adventure or even decide during the trip. He provided multiple options for good places to stop when you were ready, and even provided coins for the local bus fare. We spent 5 hours with him! We highly recommend this rare gem of an experience for anyone who loves nature, history, walking, and is open to loving birds!
