I am Scottish, grew up near Glasgow, and have lived in Scotland for most of my life. But I'm also a keen international traveller. I've visited over 50 countries and have lived abroad for over three years. I've always been interested in other countries, their history, society, culture and people. Now it's time to explain to visitors to Edinburgh about my own country, and help them have an enjoyable and interesting stay.
Iain was wonderful! He could grab our attention with questions, not only monologues, for example. He brought recent news and information to parallel it with our travel in time. Although he doesn't have a card reader with him, he offered an online payment method through his site.
Iain’s knowledge of Scottish history and how in intertwined with English and other countries was excellent. His passion shined through and made it a very interesting angle to see Edinburgh. Really enjoyed the tour.
As the sole participant, I got a personalized tour of the city, the Scottish history, and some of the current events in the country. Iain is a very knowledgable, kind, and funny tour guide, one of the best I had. He asked what I was interested in, and focused the whole tour around that, answered specific questions. It was like a private tutor. At the end of the tour he even showed me the inside of the Scottish parlament, which is a magnificent piece of architecture. I recommend him for anyone who is interested in the history and the people of the city.
Thank you, Iain! It was a great experience – you shared so many interesting facts and a lot of historical insight, especially up to the 18th century where so much happened. We really appreciated how you involved us, let us choose areas of history we were curious about, and made it interactive. It was also great how you compared things with our home countries (Switzerland) and gave us a lot of insight into present-day Scotland as well. Thanks again for a memorable and engaging experience!
Sarah is absolutely amazing guru! Kept every one hooked entire journey. Very knowledgeable and highly informative bursting with energy and humour. Best wishes to her and pacino!
