A wealth of knowledge - Alan was a wealth of knowledge about Edinburgh; he know all the stories to go along with each location. He was on time, and very flexible adjusting the itinerary to accommodate my wife’s mobility issues. We will not hesitate to book again when we return in 2026.

Highly Recommend Ecosse Executive Company for any tours - Viator chose Ecosse Executive for our Edinburgh tour and Alan was fantastic! Not only was he very knowledgeable about Edinburgh and Scottish history overall, he went above and beyond the call of duty when we told him of our not so good tour the day before with another company. He immediately called his associate Paul (who was off the next day) asking him if he could take us out and give us a great tour day which he did to make up for the bad one. They went above and beyond what they needed to do, never rushing, just wanting us to have a great two days which we did. I highly recommend this company if you can get them.

Our tour of Edinburgh - The driver, Gary, was wonderful. We saw a lot and he gave us a lot of information about Edinburgh. He picked us up and returned us directly to the ship.

Great experience - We had Keith for a half day tour of Edinburgh. He explained everything about the area, and even showed us some special locations. He was very knowledgeable, cordial and answered all our questions. We would book with him again if we come back.

Absolutely. Amazing. Must book!! - You must book Alan with Ecosse Executive. Alan absolutely ensured that our family saw and learned as much of Edinburgh that you can see in a day. Alan is an amazing story teller and passed on so much education about the history and culture of Scotland. Unbelievably amazing.

Excellent Tour with Gary! - We had an incredible experience with Gary as our private tour guide! He was extremely accommodating to our group, going above and beyond to make sure we saw everything on our list—and even more. Gary was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, sharing interesting insights and local history throughout the day. He managed our time perfectly, fitting in all the sights we wanted to see without ever feeling rushed. His friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend booking a tour with Gary—you won’t be disappointed!
