Edinburgh Tours Reviews

Jonathan was an amazing tour guide! We did the 3 hour walking tour & enjoyed it! Jonathan taught us a lot about Scottish history! Would recommend this tour to anyone looking to do a half day walking tour in Edinburgh!

Sommer Deselms⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We took a walking tour in Edinburgh. We met Jonathan who was right on time at the meeting point. Although it was super cold, he didn’t rush the tour and explained everything. We went to the places as promised and it was very informative. I recommend this tour if you’re in Edinburgh.

Ali Feizollah⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We enjoyed a wonderful 3 hour walking tour of Edinburgh with our very knowledgeable guide, Bill. We learned a lot of the history and heard many interesting and amusing stories. We even got excellent recommendations for places to eat, drink and hear live music.We highly recommend this tour.

Ruth Anne Shute⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a wonderful walking tour of Edinburgh, 3 hours of interesting history, information and tips for the rest of my time there. I was particularly impressed that, even though I was the only person signed up for this tour, Amitylux didn’t cancel and I had a private tour! I took this tour on my first day in the city and by the end of the 3 hours felt I knew where all the major sites were and what I wanted to come back to and see in more depth, as well as a bit of an understanding of the city’s history and development. Thank you for a lovely and memorable afternoon!
