Learned so much about Edinburgh! - Booked this tour in advance of traveling to Edinburgh and loved every minute as we learned so much about the city in just a few hours! Mr. Saf customized the adventure to places of interest and avoided the peak times at certain venues to make the most of our day! He was happy to snap as many pics as we wanted throughout the morning as well. Would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Amazing Tour! - What an incredible experience! We took this 4 hour tour of Edinburgh and got to see EVERYTHING! Mr. Saif was so kind, curteous, knowledgable and helpful in every way. He knows so much! Even gave great restaurant recommendations and took us to the most breathtaking views! He even took tons of photos of us (for us). I cant even begin to explain how awesome this was!

A day in Edinburgh - Our driver, Sal, was very courteous and knowledgeable. We experienced seeing many hidden gems as well as the main tourist attractions. He knew a lot of history and made the tour educational. We had a very enjoyable time and would do this tour again if we came back to Scotland.

New Year’s Eve in Edinburgh - This tour exceeded my expectations! We were able to cover so much ground in. Shirt period of time with the best guide. Sat was so knowledgeable and flexible. Threw him a curve ball by asking to see sheep:) He made it happen and elevated that by taking us to a market, Craigie’s, which was amazing. Our family had a phenomenal time because of him. Highly recommend this tour!!! Could never have seen all of the sites on our own and the history of each stop was priceless!!!

Family adventure - We brought our family to Edinburgh on the first stop of our trip and had a wonderful tour of the city with Saf as our guide. Not only was he knowledgeable, but caring, personable and a pleasure to be around. We would highly recommend this tour and Saf.

We loved Edinburgh and Mr Saf!! - Mr Saf was wonderful. He took us around Edinburgh and showed us many sights we would not have seen on a regular tour. Plus many that we knew about. He was very knowledgeable about the area and knew where to go to give us the best views of everything. He was quite patient with our little group.

Private Edinburgh City Tour - Mr. Saf gave us an excellent private tour. He was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Called ahead to discuss what we wanted to see to ensure he was meeting our requests. I would highly recommend this tour as you will not be disappointed. Well worth the money and very happy we did it.
