Calum is nice in what he does. Shows a very welcoming demeanour around his guests. He was patient enough to answer our questions. I would be happy to recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. Further I like the idea of the Rowie being around the tour :-)

Callum was lovely. He was knowledgable and informative and as a Scot who has visited Edinburgh many times still managed to tell me facts I didn’t know already. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk and would highly recommend it. Wee Rowie trotting along was just the icing on the cake.
