David is the best! What he doesn't know about Edinburgh and its history/quirky tales/little known facts isn't worth knowing. We really enjoyed his company, his explanations were easy to understand (I'm not a history buff and my husband is Italian) and he made our walking tour of this amazing city very enjoyable. A mix of serious and seriously funny - would totally recommend this addition to any trip to Edinburgh!
