I'm Derek M., your private tour guide in Edinburgh

Guide #61107

Hi! I'm Derek. I became a tour guide as driving and exploring the beautiful scenery and historic sites and quaint little villages that are scattered all over Scotland excites me, and I want to pass on this joy to everyone who comes to visit Scotland. Previously as an H. G. V. Driver carrying dangerous goods (whisky included) meant that I have had to undertake intensive Advanced Driver Training which results in the knowledge that you will be in safe hands as we explore the sights on offer. My aim overall is to provide every traveler with the best experience possible on their visit to my homeland and to have them leaving as friends with memories to last a lifetime. All of my tours can be tailor to suit your needs and capabilities on request. Just contact me! My whole lifetime of living in and discovering the beauty of Scotland. I am not licensed to give tours inside any historical sites, I prefer to leave that to the professionals of each location we will visit.

    Derek was amazing! He was very responsive to our communications before the tour and was awesome during the tour. He tailored our experience to what we wanted and made sure we saw all the highlights. He gave us the history of the area and added some anecdotes which kept us entertained. All 8 of us loved our tour with Derek and highly recommend him!!
