Great Tour Guide in Edinburgh!
Published on Nov, 2024
Michael did an amazing job taking us off the "beaten path" when touring Edinburgh. We appreciated how Michael tailored the tour to our needs. He was very communicative in advance to find out what we wanted to do and he followed up with us after our tour on somethings we had questions about. Michael is an Edinburgh native and knows his stuff! We would highly recommend requesting him!
