Our guide Jenny was an absolute gem! So many interesting and fun facts! Our daughter had a blast, and it's not easy to keep a teenager fully engaged for over 2 hours! absolutely recommend! special thanks to Jenny!

We had Orla as our guide and she did a fantastic job. We were a fairly large group (+20), it was raining and busy in the city, but Orla spoke loud and clear doing a great job. She was obviously very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about HP and knows a lot about Edinburgh too - connecting both.
