Rocky was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We covered a lot of sites in Edinburgh. We loved the Deane village, new town, old town, the grass market area, and royal palace. Loved being in a small group.

I booked for a local guide, a man of Indian origin came. I paid €700 to be able to practise my English too. My English was better than his though. I wasn't able to enter my location on the portal. You could only select a hotel or a given location. After I was offered the opportunity to make any requests by email, I entered my home address. Since I didn't receive any feedback and the meeting point I had previously selected was listed in my profile, I travelled there. However, the driver was on his way to my home address. The information was also not as precise as I had expected for the price. I am therefore not satisfied.

The city tour with Fraser was very engaging and entertaining with quite a bit of Scottish history thrown in. The 2 hrs passed quickly and we covered the history of Edinburgh and the many inventions down to the Scot’s as well as the history of the many battles, changes in religion and the royal families. Definitely a well researched and presented tour.

The ease of booking, finding the location and the frendly reception received by our tour guide Allister. We all marveled at the stories orated by Allister and most I believe are based on historical documentation. I also discovered the Scottish are not big fans of the english due to a taxing of whiskey. I as an american know how that is as we went to war with the english for a tax over tea. Allister is easy to relate and truly personifies the scottish people , proud, easy going, comical and truly love THEIR country.

Our guide spoke English as a second language and was difficult to understand throughout the tour. At some point we just stopped asking him to repeat what he said and just missed what he was trying to say. Otherwise, all the highlights were covered.
