My friend and I had an amazing walking tour experience with Sarah and Pacino. Sarah is an awesome story teller and very sweet. It was easy to follow her stories/facts about Edinburgh. During her tour she also recommended restaurants (the fish and chips restaurant she recommended was indeed very tasty) and bars + a personal guide QR code for everyone. I would recommend Sarah and cute Pacino as your walking tour guide if you come to Edinburgh!
Absolutely incredible! Calum and Rowie were just splendid- Rowie was the most perfect wee lass to guide us through the day. Calum is a natural storyteller and is incredibly funny and captivating when he speaks. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of doing a walking tour!
Had the best time with Calum & Rowie. This is the best walking tour experience because it has :- 1. The cutest and most gentle dog ever 2. Calum is extremely knowledgeable and gives the best spots one can eat & drink around the city 3. Calum also has the most wonderful stories and his energy is absolutely beautiful 4. Calum sings beautifully and you’ll get to hear him sing a snippet of a Scottish song 5. He has a great sense of humour 6. You’ll get to learn a little something about Harry Potter too I did this tour with my family including seniors, and this is extremely friendly for them too. Total distance covered as confirmed with Calum was about 2.5 kms in 2 hours. There are loads of stops and the pace is pretty good (slow and easy). Highly recommend doing this tour when you’re in Edinburgh.
Really great tour with Calum and Rowie. Calum was knowledgeable, entertaining and extremely helpful throughout the tour. His storytelling was fantastic but he also had a wonderful bank of facts for the various areas we explored. The pace was perfect and gave a fantastic insight into some key areas of Edinburgh. Thank you Calum and Rowie!
Great tour. Sarah is lovely and has a brilliantly varied knowledge that really makes lots of parts of the Old Town come alive, particularly a lot of parts you may not notice or appreciate without the tour. Pacino was so welcoming to everyone, very sweet boy with a very soft coat! I really loved the recommendations, the tour opened the door, and then lets you go and explore things further, but with greater appreciation. Definitely would recommend to anyone coming to Edinburgh.
