Awesome - Interesting and hilarious, James almost made me pee myself out of laughter! My 12-year-old enjoyed a lot, too.

An unexpectated walk in history - Had such a unique experience and it was amazing to see a whole new side of Edinburgh and Mary Stuart was hands off with being a good guide and good artist

Fun, quick paced, and not much Harry Potter. - My daughter and I had 36hrs in Edinburgh, and were determined to squeeze a vaults tour into that time. Our guide was David Ritzio, he was fun, energetic, upbeat and knowledgeable. The pace was perfect and everything we wanted to know was covered. He made every person in the group feel like he was talking to them personally. We were on the evening adult tour, and that definitely added more fun. Highly recommended by 2 generations (25 and 45) from Birmingham, UK. We were worried that there would be loads of Harry Potter stuff, but aside from a brief mention, the rest was actual interesting history.

Alison Pearson - Alison Pearson was a very good choice by the guide to give a touch of historical reality to the activity, and of course the guide a show! I recommend it

Not just a tour, a journey! - The tour was excellent. Well organised and a great meeting spot. Our host was Lafayette and he was brilliant. Not just knowledgeable but an excellent story teller. Really made the experience for us.

It's worth a lot - “Alison Pearson” gave us a super entertaining tour of the downtown streets, we went to the cemetery and some underground alleys that we loved, our guide shared a lot of very interesting information! We loved the tour and highly recommend it!
