A thoroughly enjoyable and knowledgeable guide who customized our introduction to Edinburgh in important and impactful ways. She really listened to our father/daughter trip needs, got to know us, and tailored the experience above and beyond (and much of that began far before the tour). We specifically sought out her tour and booked it so we could be walking with her within hours of arriving in Edinburgh - it was the perfect beginning to our stay here. We highly recommend Jen!

This was such a thorough tour, and definitely worth it! It was awesome to walk around and see the historical structures and to hear all the stories behind it all. Alana was so great and didnt skip a beat. She was very kind and informative! Every question I had, she had an answer to. I learned so much more than if I were to have toured the city on my own. Great tour! Totally recommend!

Abbiamo riservato un tour privato di alcune ore, per me è mio marito. Ugne, la ragazza che ci ha guidato nella città, ci ha mostrato angoli nei quali non saremo arrivati da soli, molto gentile e cortese nell'accogliere le nostre richieste, nel rispondere deregulation alla nostre curiosità sulla capitale di Scozia. La visita guidata è stata la prima attività fatta nel nostro breve soggiorno ad Edimburgo e ci è stata molto ultime per avre degli spunti per comprendere altri scorci della città visitati nei giorni successivi. Grazie allo staff per l'organizzazione, a monte, ed a Ugne che è stata molto professionale.
