Let me guide you around my home town and share all my knowledge and tails of this spectacular historic place. Experience the unique City of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, which dates back as far as the 13th century. All you need to do is sit back, relax and let me tell you the bags of history that Edinburgh provides. Edinburgh is packed with medieval tenements, narrow wynds and closes of the Old Townand the sweeping elegance of the Georgian New Town. Head to the bottom of the famous Royal Mile where you'll find the 17th century Palace of Holyroodhouse, the modern parliament building and the prehistoric extinct volcano famously known as Arthur's Seat located in Holyrood Park. Looming over the City is Edinburgh Castle which dominates the city skyline. Our tour will continue to the famous Rosslyn Chapel which is a 15th century treasure in the village of Roslin. We will visit the village of South Queensferry where you will take in sights of the three Bridges crossing the Firth of Forth.

We requested a custom tour from Edinburgh to see the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. Garry M. took our group to these sites, which are both amazing and worth the trip! On our way back, we stopped to see and learn about the three bridges spanning the Firth at Queens Crossing and visited a local pub for a pint and some conversation. Our enjoyment was significantly enhanced by the knowledge and wit of our very personable guide. Should we be in the area again, we would not hesitate one moment to book Garry M. again ... nor should you!
Fantastic Tour ! Guide was professional, personable, timely and excellent communicator both during and prior to the tour. I would definitely book a tour again !
Garry was absolutely wonderful! On perfect time, very communicative prior to and during our time in Edinburg. Most helpful with suggestions for other parts of our time in Scotland, too! His actual tour took us to see all the sights we wanted to view. He was most informative and very easy to be with. We had a tremendous time!
A terrific tour guide with a wonderfully comfortable van. A little hard to understand sometimes (don't forget to speak slower, Garry!), but wonderful nonetheless. Thanks to Gary for a great day!
Garry was a wonderful guide; professional, punctual and personable; we all had a great time with him. There were 8 of us so it was fabulous to have his very comfortable, luxury vehicle to travel around to the sights. I would highly recommend him with no reservations. Thanks for a fun couple of days Garry!
