Customer Reviews
My walking tour with Lewis was the highlight of our Edinburgh trip. He brought the city's incredible history to life with captivating stories, deep knowledge, and genuine passion. We saw famous landmarks and hidden closes we would have missed entirely. Lewis wasn't just a guide, but a fantastic storyteller who made the past feel vivid and exciting. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to truly understand and feel the magic of Edinburgh!
The early start at 9.30 was ideal. Lewis lead us through quiet streets, a real relief in such a busy city. He was informative and he was kind. We are both in our late 70s, reasonably fit and this walk was in our capabilities. Best to wear trainers.
Thank you Lewis for a very enjoyable and informative walk! Lovely to see an area a bit more off the beaten track and beautiful photograph opportunities! And Lewis gave us some great tips for other places to visit as well
