Worth it - Had an excellent time on this tour. Our guide was Koffe, and he was very engaging, hilarious, and delivered the history in a way that kept our attention! Plenty of historic stops around the Royal Mile to hear about.

Highly Recommend!! - Euan was AWESOME!! A great pace, SO informative and easy to hear even in our large group. Great information on Edinburgh history and the stories of the city! We had already toured Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood House and this was a great addition to what we had already seen. Euan was the best walking tour guide of our trip!

Fun History Tour - Jess was an articulate, amusing, well-informed and well-organized guide. The tour was full of interesting and amusing historical anecdotes. Our group of eight was perfect. Large groups of 20 are not enjoyable. I highly recommend the tour.

Ask for Greg! - Greg was such a great guide. I wish that I could have recorded his stories to share because I can't do his several Scottish accents justice. Great humor and knowledge of such an incredible city. Thank you!

2 hour tour packed with Scottish history - Ewan was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the wonderful city of Edinburgh. He was able to elaborate on much of Scottish history for which it is obvious he is passionate about and enjoys sharing. Ewan was able to answer a lot of questions in great detail about things not necessarily on the tour and willingly gave us great advice. I would absolutely recommend Little Fish Tours. Everything was so very easy to arrange and designated meeting place was easy to locate. Thank you Ewan! you are the best
