Really enjoyed our tour with Richard – he was really knowledgeable, threw in a couple of ghost stories and recommended a coffee shop for afterwards. A great couple of hours spent.

Our guide Jim was humorous and seemed to love what he does. One thing that could be improved was that it was very hard to hear him, both because he turned his head side to side (I think in order to look at the group) and when his head was turned away, we could not hear; and also he spoke too quickly for these non-Scottish ears to understand! Still, we learned a lot and enjoyed it. Thanks.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Kevin who gave us an EXCELLENT tour of this amazing city today.rnHis enthusiasm and knowledge were delightful and have whet our appetite for further reading and discovering of all this rich history.rnTHANKYOU so much for your generous time. We had a wonderful afternoon!
