The Best Tour I've Ever Booked
David was the best tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of booking.
Not only was he supremely knowledgeable about the history of Edinburgh, he was also so enthusiastic to share it with us.
The photography tips he shared were just a cherry on top. We had an awesome time walking all around Edinburgh exploring the must-see sights and hidden gems.
If you are deciding between a few different tours, stop looking and just book David, I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you for an unforgettable experience, David!

Wonderful Tour!
This was a wonderful tour with David! He is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.
He takes the time to make sure that you're having a great tour and honestly you could spend days with him and learn more and more!
He has very good manners and takes very good care of his clients. He will even take you to a fantastic tea and coffee shop for a little break.
I wish we could have stayed and taken multiple days worth of tours with him, he was that good! I highly recommend this tour.
Take it at the beginning of your trip because he'll point out many places you can return to so you know where the good things are!

A Wonderful Edinburgh Afternoon!
We booked this tour for the first day of our week in Edinburgh. David provided a truly enthusiastic and warm welcome to his beautiful city which set the tone for the rest of our week.
He was a wealth of knowledge and highlighted many fascinating details which would have been easily overlooked, giving us a deep appreciation of his city's rich heritage.
His photography advice helped to "train my eyes" and appreciate fantastic details of this visually captivating city, prompting me to return to many of the locations later in our visit.
This tour is a great balance of the history and beauty of this city. We highly recommend this tour as an introduction to Edinburgh.
