WHERE YOUR SAFETY MEETS EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY
“If this is your first time in Edinburgh
(actually even if it’s not), Robert’s talk
is a brilliant way to start. He is a
fantastic speaker, storyteller and
personality. He delves back and forth
in time, using great illustrations and
photographs from his folder, and
really makes the city come alive...
…He was beautifully dressed in
Scottish regalia, which made the
event even more special. If I could
have, I would have hired him for the
day to cover more of the city.
One of the best walking tours I’ve
ever taken; a really unforgettable
experience.”

Edinburgh Walking Tour - 9/2018

“The past is brought vividly to life through a
combination of Robert's experienced story telling,
with visual aides which tell the remarkable story
of the buildings, people and events of his beloved
city. The best spent two hours of a packed
weekend for these two first-time visitors.”
