Edinburgh walking tour with Niamh - This was an excellent walking tour..Niamh was fantastic..her tour was full of great stories, drama, history and even a Robbie Burns love song thrown in for good measure ( what a voice!)
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Edinburgh and it framed everything else that we did afterwards. Marita & Paul

Great tour, great guide - Our guide was G, a very knowledgeable local with a great sense of humour who took us around the old town and told us all the little tidbits about it. It was a small group and he made it very enjoyable (the town being beautiful also helped).

They stood up us - Unfortunately it was the first time this amazing company disappointed me. We booked a tour in Edinburgh on 28/04/2025 but the guide didn’t showed up so being stood up the British guide gave us to another company (explorers). in sumary it was an happy end because Paul (from explorers) he was so hilarious that we ended up having a great time but not with sandemans.
