Explore Edinburgh, which has been the capital of Scotland since the 15th Century and stands proudly on seven hills, from the comfort of your own private VIP Class Mercedes. Compare Edinburgh's medieval Old Town, where people lived in cramped conditions, to the elegant Georgian New Town. Enjoy undivided attention and learn all about this fascinating city on this 4-hour panoramic tour.
Drive down the Royal Mile (with stops along the way for photographs, exploring, a little retail therapy if time permits & coffee!!), and experience ancient Edinburgh.
At the bottom of The Royal Mile sits The Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official Scottish residence of the Monarch which was built in the 16th Century.
Your tour will take you past the Scottish Parliament and round Edinburgh's extinct volcano, "Arthur's Seat" and then into the "New Town" to see the difference between the old medieval and "New" Georgian cities.

Paul was amazing! He got to our (private tour for my hubby and I) hotel a few minutes before our pickup time which is always nice because you can get started right away. The tour started before we even got in the van by providing us historical background on culture and land ownership. We drove to Dean Area and learned about the origins of stadium seating and some fun facts about golf. After a bit of exploring we moved on from there to many other wonderful sites. We did a lot of walking and with the private car it was easy to cover much of the town. Paul was funny and knowledgeable and I highly recommend this tour.

This was a fantastic tour! Keith customized it to meet our needs of what we wanted to see, how much we wanted to walk, etc. he even checked in later in the day to be sure we made it safely back to our cruise ship. This is the ONLY excursion you need in Edinburgh. Your search is over. :-)

Our half day tour with Keith was excellent! We managed to go to all of the major sites while getting great commentary on the history and significance of the places. We even got some Harry Potter sites that the kids really enjoyed. This is a great way to see all the sites and figure out the ones you’d like to revisit. Would highly recommend!

Our driver/guide was excellent. Being a lifelong resident, he had a wonderful knowledge of the places we visited, weaving interesting stories into the historical information of this beautiful city!
We appreciated so much his adjusting our visit to accommodate our mobility limitations. We felt like we made a friend in our brief visit.

Very helpful driver particularly given the awful weather but insufficient information on history etc - not a professional tour guide.
We covered a lot of ground.

Keith needs to prepare a narrative for the tour.

Alan was a terrific guide, who gave us a comprehensive historical perspective with clarity and wit. We especially liked the frequent stops to get out and experience the city. The only drawback was that we had another guide and his group attached to ours, because he was still learning the ropes, so it was not as private a tour as we expected.
