Traveler reviews
Great introduction to Edinburgh
It was my first time in Edinburgh and tour guide Max gave us a great introduction to the history of the city and told us the stories behind all those statues along the Royal Mile. It was a wonderful way to learn about the city and see the important attractions.

Georgia & Her Assistant
I have to admit that a walking tour with a group of strangers didn't seem like fun at first but Georgia and her little assistant were fantastic and made my visit to Edinburgh a memory of a lifetime. Her knowledge of “Old Reeky” is fascinating. I like how she would tell a story not only with words but with her eyes! Great Job!
