Hello, please let me introduce myself. I'm John Mc. I was born and lived most of my life in Edinburgh. I'm a fully qualified taxi driver in Edinburgh with over 20 years experience . I'm a fully accredited tour guide for Edinburgh I have completed the worshipful company of Hackney Carriage Drivers tour course for Edinburgh . I am also an accredited whiskey ambassador. It would be my pleasure to show and tell you the many sites and stories that Edinburgh and Scotland has to offer. I can offer a full range of tours of Edinburgh from 4, 8 and 12 hours. I can also offer a wide range of full day tours outside of Edinburgh from Stirling , St Andrews, The Scottish Borders and Outlander tours along with the Highlands of Scotland. Or I can build a tour that suits your tastes and requirements. I also offer a full range of tours throughout Scotland's whisky regions and distilleries, something completely different.

You can tell me what you want and I will make a tour that fits and suits you. All tours are bespoke to each clients requirements. My philosophy is to treat every tour as it is your only chance to visit Scotland. I will make every tour unique for all my customer's. I look forward to seeing you . All tours come with complimentary hamper water juice fudge biscuits etc I can offer spaces for 1 to 6 people in an air conditioned traditional black taxi cab.

John is a great tour guide, friendly and personable with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Scotland, the UK and especially Edinburgh. He curated a custom tour of Edinburgh with fascinating stops at several interesting sites around the New City of Edinburgh as well as the Old City and a visit to the beautiful and intriguing Rosalyn Chappel. We especially enjoyed...

July 2026Hi Chris thank you so much for letting me guide you around Edinburgh. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you both. Many thanks John
We loved our day with John! He picked us up at the port and showed us the ins and outs of Edinburgh from the castle to the tucked away closes. We enjoyed a delicious lunch, visited several great photo op sites, and John never ran out of stories to tell us about this historic Scottish city. What a wonderful day!
