Very Enjoyable Tour

My wife and I did the tour on October 22, 2024. Our guide indicated it was his last tour of the season! He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He was also tolerant of our medium pace walking and slower walking up inclines. We are in our mid-70s and need to be careful on uneven ground and slopes. We learned a great deal about Edinburgh and its history. We recommend the tour.

A Day with Rishi

The tour with Rishi was an outstanding way to learn about Edinburgh and its history in a couple of hours. Rishi is full of knowledge and answers any questions you might have and even went a little over the 2 hours to make sure you see everything, Don't hesitate to book this tour if you want to learn a lot of facts and history you probably didn't know before.

Fantastic tour- worth every penny.

Rishi was a fantastic guide with an amazing tour. There wasn’t too much walking, but we covered a lot of sites and a lot of information. He was succinct, funny, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. It set us up for a great time in Edinburgh, allowing us to orientate ourselves. Would highly recommend!

Successful

Super interesting . It was very entertaining and very informative. Rishi is very competent and courteous. We had someone with a wheelchair with us, that was no problem. We have received many background information. Very worthwhile.
