Much better than serious tours - What I loved about the tour with Danni is although apparently French, his slow speaking Scottish accent was really clear to understand and remarkably sounded authentic.

Funny, informative, gorgeous dog. - Interesting route around some of the old town with lots of laughs and interesting info . Excellent value for over 2 hours of historical comedy. Superb if you like a walk with a gentle, sweet dog too.

Great fun - I’ve done so many tours of Edinburgh over the years but this was the first comedy one and it was great fun. If you enjoy acerbic wit and can take a bit of ‘banter’, then definitely give it a go. The beautiful doggo side kick is an added bonus.

Dog, laughter, community, and history - This was such a fun way to acclimated with the history and sights of Edinburgh. Def adult humor but nothing gross or offensive. I went as a solo traveler and had a great time with the group. Daniel was super engaging, inclusive, and knowledgeable. I would def recommend his tour. Also his dog is the goodest boy in Edinburgh ♥️

Hilarious way to learn about Edinburgh! - We loved the Mountebank tour. Completely different way to learn about Edinburgh. Engaged so well with everyone in the group. 'Bonnie Prince' the dog was a fantastic bonus. Two hours flew by! Thank you from Jay and Ian!

Fantastic tour, well worth it - Had a fantastic time on this tour. Daniel is knowledgeable, amicable, and most importantly funny. I learned a lot, laughed a lot, and got to meet his dog. I would give more stars if I could

Best comedy tour ever - Oh my goodness, the man tried hard…AND HE CRUSHED IT! This is by far the funniest historical tour I have ever been on! I highly recommend it. It is not all fun and games: you get a special tour of Edinburgh as well while laughing your sides out. Worth every penny and more!
