  • Amazing Private Photography Tour with David!

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour guide, David, in Edinburgh. David's enthusiasm and passion for the history of Edinburgh and Scotland and his friendliness made our tour truly memorable and unique.

    We fell in love with Edinburgh and put it on our travel bucket list to come back and explore in more depth. Not only did he provide expert guidance around the city, but David also took the most amazing pictures of me and my husband.

    The photography tips and tricks David shared were invaluable, and his knowledge of the best spots for stunning photos was impressive.

    We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and personal experience in Edinburgh!

  • David is an Icon!

    David is such a positive individual with incredible insight about Edinburgh and photography!

    He took us into so many places that we wouldn’t have known existed, and taught us about leading lines and the rule of thirds.

    He was kind and considerate of everyone’s energy levels, and treated us to a coffee (or milkshake) as a quick break from the tour.

    Would definitely recommend this tour!

    David is in fact, an icon.

  • Perfect Tour!

    David is an incredible tour guide!

    He is highly motivated and extremely knowledgeable about this beautiful city.

    His passion is infectious and he went above and beyond for our tour. Loved being taken off the beaten path and shown the hidden gems.

    10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a tour guide. We already want to come back and book more with him!

    THANKS DAVID! You’re awesome!
