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

Guide #32002

Hello and welcome to my bio. I am Edinburgh born and bred and have lived here for most of my life. After leaving the Army 20 years ago and returning to my hometown I started in the family business of taxi driving and my true love and passion for my city was released. I have spent my spare time furthering my knowledge of this amazing city and passed the Taxi Tour Guiding course. I thoroughly enjoy and love nothing more than passing on my knowledge in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. On each of my tours I like to make them informative and educational as well as fun and entertaining. This is not a coach tour. This is all about you! Do you want to take a photograph of something you like? You can. Or pop into a pub and sample some of our world famous whisky and hospitality? You can. The choice is yours completely! I will be your guide and use my local knowledge to show you places and parts of the city and Scotland as a whole that most people never get the chance to see but I would rather show you the parts that you are interested in. Being a taxi driver has allowed me the opportunity to take part in several charity trips in different cities of the UK and have been extremely fortunate to have taken part in the London to Disneyland Paris trip for terminally ill children every year since 2005. The vehicle I use is a Hyundai i800 mpv. It has exceptional interior space. I can comfortably carry 7 passengers. Not fully wheelchair accessible although there is enough space in the trunk for a folding wheelchair. My car is fully insured. Edinburgh liscensed taxi driver. Edinburgh taxi tour guide. Liveryman of London. Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers member.

    We’re so glad we booked a custom day out with Neil to explore family history locations near Edinburgh. He was professional, personable, flexible, and a font of information. Later on in our trip, we realized just how much Scotland knowledge and culture he had shared with us during the car rides between spots— we found ourselves saying “oh right, Neil told us that.” He...

    Neil was great. He communicated well before the tour and he was a wealth of information while on the tour. We were able to customize our tour, which allowed us to see some things we wanted to experience. Neil has a great personality and we had an enjoyable day driving around with him. We highly recommend taking one of his tours.

    Neil was a very much appreciated surprise. We booked another TBL guide a full year in advance and learned 48 hours before leaving that our guide had just received a very negative health diagnosis and was forced to cancel all his tours. TBL found Neil at the nth hour and he was very supportive, interesting and we had a bonus as he had a van to use on the tour which...
