My wife and I were lucky enough to be the only guests on our tour, so we got to have a very interactive experience with our guide Gary. He shared with us a great mix of stories from different eras of history, plus his own experience growing up and living in Edinburgh. I found him super engaging, funny, and intelligent. He answered all our questions expertly and helped us interpret the surrounding landscape. I was enthralled for the entire tour from beginning to finish.
Best tour company! Chris, Gillian and David were our guides for 3 different tours and all were amazing! Highly recommend booking a private tour with them. It made all the difference for us and we were only 3 adults! Don't miss the Coastal Tour too! You won't regret it!

Hi Kar H., Thanks for the review! We're glad you had such a great time with Chris, Gillian and David - they are all passionate about Scotland and it's great that it shone through. Come visit us again! Kind regards, Chris
Jonny was GREAT!! I was a golf widow on this trip to Scotland, so I booked a private tour for myself for 2 separate days to see different parts of Scotland, but had no specifics. So Jonny took in what I was wanting (walk away knowing some of Scotland and great pics, and home in time to have dinner with golf crew), and he came up with the perfect itinerary. We saw Edinburgh, some Coastal towns/area, 4 castles, saw some and fed Highland cows, visited the Highlands and a few lochs...and filled in with history, tidbits, and interesting facts/stories...along with some great eats. Perfect trip!!
Hi Niki E., Thanks for the review! Glad you had such an awesome time with Jonny - he was happy to show you around the area and had a great time as well. Kind regards, Chris
We did a tour with Chris in Edinburgh and it was absolutely amazing. He really brings history to life, he talks at good pace so he is easy to understand and we really felt like we did the right thing by paying for a private tour. It felt like we were having a local friend show us his city, it's not like other tours we have been at all. Can't recommend Chris's tour highly enough.
Hi Will R., Thanks for this great review for Local Eyes! Glad you had a great time. Kind regards, Chris

DISCOVER EDINBURGH THROUGH A LOCAL'S EYES ★★★★★
Manon showed up things in Edinburgh that we had walked past and never even knew the significance of! What a delight she was and how brilliant it this tour. We walked the Old Town and ended up at the Tollbooth Hotel which was on my MUST SEE list anyway. The whiskey tasting was very interesting and we loved the hotel so much, we stayed on for dinner. A fabulous way to spend a couple of hours away from the tour buses and see the authentic town.
My friends and I went on The People's Story tour with Mojo and it was just us in the tour. You could tell how passionate he is about the city by the way he is doing this and this made us enjoy the tour much. He is very knowledgeable and gets into very interesting details, not a generic narrative. He used a folder with relevant pictures while narrating which I found very helpful and interesting. He actually gave us an extra hour as we all got carried away enjoying the tour.
We were toured around mid-July 2021 by Mojo - it was a small group that day and he managed to make it so personalised to our interests, answering questions as we went along. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning and aside from all the engaging content and details we would have otherwise overlooked, we saw lots of great spots to return to over the rest of our stay. A great tour to choose!!
It was an amazing walk. Telling stories of people who really had a great impact on the Scottish history was amazing. My friends and I have enjoyed it so much, we had the ability to see Edinburgh from different perspective and to know more about its rich historical stories. Mojo is a very genuine, friendly and easy going tour guide.
We spent a great afternoon on this tour walking round Edinburgh’s beautiful Old Town. Our tour guide Mojo took us to familiar places but with a different angle which made it very interesting but also entertaining. A fun day and highly recommended.
