Hi my name is Dave and like yourself I have a passion for travel. I love to explore and discover the hidden gems that you can find anywhere in the world but sometimes it can take time to find them. That is where a private tour with a knowledgeable local guide stands out. Come with me and I will take you on a voyage of adventure and discovery as we explore the hidden secrets of my beautiful country and its remarkable history. My adventures are suitable for all and can be modified to meet the needs of any group from high activity thrill seekers to the more sedate scenic explorers. Don't worry, even our low activity tours will allow you to explore and discover some hidden gems. As an avid traveller I have experienced many tours and adventures and as such I have a good understanding of what makes a tour stand out. I have used this knowledge and experience in the design all of my tours to provide a fantastic experience for my guests. It is true that adventure and discovery can still be carried out in luxury and comfort and that is my main focus. I look forward to meeting you and your group as we embark on another adventure which has been modified to provide the unique experience you are looking for during your short visit to my incredible country. Now it is time to see Scotland your way. Dave C I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside the historic monuments, I will however accompany you and give you my insights where applicable.

Overview of your Edinburgh tour

Edinburgh is my capital city which is both vibrant and steeped in history. My father was born here and I have spent many days exploring and enjoying both its culture and history. On this tour we will visit some of the famous locations and also get the chance to discover how the city was developed across 2 very distinct periods in time. There are so many buildings of interest from the famous castle located on an ancient Neolithic dwelling to the modern Scottish Parliament buildings with so much history and stories of ghosts and revolutions in between. You may choose to head a little out of the city where you can discover the mysteries of Roslyn Chapel made famous by Dan Browns "Da-Vinci Code" or the splendour of the Royal Yacht Britannia. I look forward to sharing some of the stories of this fantastic city and sharing some of its less well known secrets.

Your Edinburgh tour itinerary

- From our pick up point we will head straight into the city centre to get fantastic panoramic views of the entire city from the top of Calton hill. - We will park near the palace of Holyrood House (the Kings residence in Edinburgh) and walk up the Royal Mile towards the castle.
