Totally worth it!

Really pleased to discover about Edinburgh on this enriching tour with Rowie the dog. Can't wait for her to become an actress for the live action remake of Bobby Greyfriars!

Niamh was a wonderful and enthusiastic guide!

Niamh's love for Edinburgh shines through. She made our tour thoroughly enjoyable and we could have listened to her stories and knowledge of the city all day. Even though I now live in Edinburgh, I just love hearing locals speak so passionately about the city and its history. Her wee dachshund also played his role well and didn't show any signs of jealously when Niamh recalled the sad story of Greyfriar's Bobby. A tour well worth taking!

Absolutely wonderful.

The guide was such a sweetheart and her dog, Al Pacino, was absolutely adorable. The tour was well organized, informative, and really brought the stories of the past to life.
