Charles was amazing with perfect mix of jokes and information
This is a great way to know some of the history of Edinburgh.
Just finished our Old Town tour with Ignas and had a great time. Guide was very knowledgeable and told many interesting facts in an entertaining way that you would miss walking there unguided. The Scotish accent and kilt of the guide added a lot of charm to the tour but may be a bit challenging to unterstand the accent for people who are less proficient with the English language. Length of the tour was really nice, not too long and not too short.
Thank you very much to Ignas for an authentic local tour of the old city
very good with ignas he know almost every question
Five stars are not enough to describe the experience we had with Serena in Edinburgh's Old Town. With her fascinating stories, rich in history, anecdotes, and mysteries, she literally thrilled us from the beginning to the end of the tour. Serena conveys an overwhelming passion that truly takes you back in time. She is extremely knowledgeable, witty, attentive to every detail, and capable of capturing anyone's attention. If you are looking for a guide who can make the Scottish capital unforgettable, Serena is the absolute choice. Highly recommended!
Ignas, the guide, was very nice. It was good making the tour with a native Scottish.
