エディンバラ: 歴史愛好家のための旧市街散策ツアー

This tourwas a joke and I would really like a refund. The guide wasn’t ‘local’ as advertised, he was Bulgarian and got lots of things wrong / confused us with a Harry Potter tour! - Harry Potter/ JK Rowling was mentioned five times on this history tour! Every time it was to repeat a myth about some aspect of Edinburgh supposed to have inspired some tedious element of the books and then say it wasn’t true. So irrelevant and boring. - He said Nelson’s Tower (Battle of Trafalgar 1805) was built to commemorate defeat of the Spanish Armada (Drake 1588)! - He confused the contributions/ legacies / links of the two King David’s who were unrelated and 200 years apart! No mention of David 2nd being son of Bruce or end of House of Stewart. There were loads of other errors and random, boring inputs. This was so poor.

The tour lasted about 2 hours. There are stairs and fairly steep hills involved throughout Edinburgh so persons with mobility issues need to plan accordingly. Zander is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about the history of Edinburgh, has great stories about history.

Madge was a fantastic guide for our Old City tour. Her clever opening grabbed us right away, and she’s just an incredible storyteller. Instead of a dry history lesson, she mixed in thoughtful quips and cultural references, and we learned a ton about the Fringe festival. (Madge, if you’re reading this—I still really want to see those photos of the Unic in the 2025 Fest) Highly recommend booking with her if you want a witty and engaging tour.

Very informative and enjoyed it!

Excellent tour to get to see a bit of Edinburgh city center! Would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Edinburgh!

The tour was great! Shanna was very knowledgeable, and made the tour very interesting. Highly recommend

Zander was great! Lots of good stories, the pacing was smooth, and I came out of the tour with a much better sense of place.

Our guide Zander was obviously new to this. His stories were a bit long winded. He would take off from one point to another without tending to the older, slower people on tour leaving them in the dust….he would have awkward pauses during he dissertations and stories. He would keep the group in the blazing sun and not move into comfortable shade during these ramblings…..I think he has great potential and should really make some changes ….

Loved this tour. Highly recommended it. Lots of interesting places and information. Tour guide did really well on gathering everyone together before telling about the area.

Attention: we booked a guide for a town trip in French: the guide spoke only English, and the group included both English-speaking and French-speaking clients: we had to cancel the service: very disappointed with Viator. However, we were refunded. But we were unable to enjoy the expected service.
