Thank you Ignis for an excellent tour! We did the Mystery, Murder and Witches tour which was really good! It's a true crime podcast come to light without being a cringy ghost tour. He was very knowledgeable, good theatrics and overall an excellent tour guide. I would highly recommend to anyone!
小人物

The tour was amazing because we could know more about Edinburgh by walking and sightseeing rather than studying. Apart from sightseeing, our tour guide “Joe”, he was so funny and friendly. He explained everything about Edinburgh in funny way including stories. He is the 5 star tour guide.
