    We absolutely LOVED this tour!! Our amazing guide (Praying Howard) was super knowledgeable and funny too! We learned a lot and especially enjoyed the underground portion. Highly recommend the evening tour!! It was well worth the cost and we didn’t expect so many laughs along the way!

    The guide was personable, knowledgeable, and sensitive to the groups needs. She was entertaining and everything you would want in a guide. We didn't end where the listing instructions said we would nor were the red badges or red umbrella's visible which was curious. She was carrying an umbrella as sign of her position but it was not red. There were no other guides in the area wearing red badges or carrying red umbrellas and the guide had our information although didn't ask for tickets. If the tour we went on was the Sandeman's tour, I couldn't tell you. It was however, a terrific tour of Edinburgh at night. I highly recommend the experience.

    We went on a 2 hour guided tour with a group of students. We were fortunate to have Alison as our guide. She expertly led us through the nooks and crannies of the lovely city of Edinburgh. Alison is the most kind, knowledgeable and attentive guide. She was excellent at giving precise instruction (which is important when guiding a group of teens) and we high recommend her for your next tour of Edinburgh.

    If you're clueless about what to see and where to go - this is a very handy option. I didn't want to walk 50 miles a day to see everything I wanted to see - this provided the perfect solution. Enough stops, close enough to major attractions that you just hop on and then get off when you've reached something you wanted to see, then get back on again and head off the the next attraction. I booked the 48 hour pass that came with entrance to Holyrood and Edinburgh Castle and the Britiannia. Definitely worth the money.

    Martin was an excellent tour guide! He kept us comfortable with local snacks & food. A wonderful sense of humor, we laughed the whole day. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. Parts of the day were rainy & cold, but we still loved every minute of it. The highlands are beautiful and the roads are windy. Booking a private tour was perfect for accommodating upset stomachs or bathroom breaks. We are definitely coming back & definitely booking with them again. Thank you so much to Martin for a fabulous day! Cheers to the Highlands until we return.

    Amazing tour of Edinburgh and surroundings. Bikes provided were of good quality and ideal for the tour. Owner of bike company led the tour which turned out to be essentially a private tour of town. He knew the area well and provided plenty of the area's history as we rode. We wouldn't hesitate to take another tour with The Tartan Bike Company.

    My husband and I spent an afternoon with Svend-Erik. We were on and off the Royal Mile. Svend-Erik is an interesting story teller. We learned history and interesting points we would not have learned on our own. We thought that the time was very worthwhile and would recommend the tour and Svend-Erik to others!

    My family had a wonderful time on this tour. Robert was very attentive to our needs and frequently checked on our comfort level while walking in the random showers. He was a great historian and storyteller. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to learn the history of Edinburgh.
