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!

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.

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!

While our afternoon with David was 7 months ago, we relive our adventures with him often! We met with him on our second day in Edinburgh so we benefitted from his amazing wealth of knowledge about his city for our next 5 days there. While he took us to well known places, we ventured to less highlighted spots where we learned quite a few photography tricks. While we had a Sony RX100VIII, we primarily used our iPhones. I particularly enjoyed learning to take photos of ceilings with the "trick" that David shared with us. You will see the ceilings of the Thistle Chapel, National Bank of Scotland, and Stirling Castle (chapel) that I've attached. David's suggestions of restaurants and other places to visit and explore filled our remaining days in Edinburgh. We plan to return this spring!
