GetYourGuide traveler – United StatesApril 7, 2022 – Verified booking
A thoroughly enjoyable and knowledgeable guide who customized our introduction to Edinburgh in important and impactful ways. She really listened to our father/daughter trip needs, got to know us, and tailored the experience above and beyond (and much of that began far before the tour). We specifically sought out her tour and booked it so we could be walking with her within hours of arriving in Edinburgh - it was the perfect beginning to our stay here. We highly recommend Jen!

This was such a thorough tour, and definitely worth it! It was awesome to walk around and see the historical structures and to hear all the stories behind it all. Alana was so great and didnt skip a beat. She was very kind and informative! Every question I had, she had an answer to. I learned so much more than if I were to have toured the city on my own. Great tour! Totally recommend!
