Great tour with a friendly guide & cute dog.
We had an excellent experience on this free walking tour in Edinburgh. The tour was incredibly informative, and Fraser’s knowledge was impressive. While we visited all the classic sights, what made this tour stand out was that he went far beyond the standard tourist facts. He brought Edinburgh’s history to life with great humor, engaging storytelling, and unique insights, including lesser-known perspectives that made the experience even more memorable. We enjoyed the tour and would absolutely recommend Fraser to anyone visiting Edinburgh who wants an entertaining and insightful introduction to the city.
Wondering tour! I really recommend.
I was a little concerned at the very start and we only had 2 people. I recognised immediatley that the intimacy of a 3 person group would be difficult for any person, and may be nerve wracking! Fraser (i hope that is his name) was wonderful. I loved the humor, he spoke fast but the lilt of his accent and general mirth appeased any loss of information. He spoke about Edinburgh's unknown stories with classic Scottish deferential arrogance, candidly, and with humour. This is a multi versed poem with wit and city-based-nationalism. I loved the discusdions about famous women ftom Edinburgh, and, as an Australian loved the opinionated delinquancy toward the English. The couple of references to LGBTQ helped flesh out this proud Edinburghians hometown discourse, adding candour to more traditional veiws. The only downside was the other guest who seemed reasonably silent and disinterested at best. Im a 42 year old australian male from Melbourne. I loved it to the tune of £50
