The comedy tour was fabulous. Daniel took time at the beginning to ask everyone’s name, nationality and a bit about themselves then used the information throughout the most hilarious but informative tour. Definitely not the usual style of city tour but would 100% recommend it.

Wonderful way to start our weekend in Edinburgh . Daniel was hilarious as well as knowledgable . He took care to involve everyone , in his own special way, in the tour. Meanwhile Bran melted hearts.
