Best private tour This is one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Stephen Picked us up at our hotel and 9am we were off. Very knowledge. He knew the history of all the buildings we would ask about ( even ones that were not part of the tour). He walked us down to some really great spots for some pictures. He even added a few spots that were not part of the tour that we wanted to see. Super friendly and really knows his stuff. Would highly recommend!

Edinburgh in a day done right! With one day to see the city, Stephen was perfect; incredibly kind, a safe driver, knowledgeable of the city and its history, considerate to our family’s needs, and 100% Scottish! Totally worth it!

Experience to Remember We toured with Stephen in June of 2024. He was prompt to pick us up, and we knew by the first interaction that we would have a great time, and that we did! We spent several days touring Outlander sites in and around Edinburgh. As Outlander fans, we were able to experience the glory of the many filming locations and were always given ample time to take tours and explore each location. We then ventured to the Isle of Skye for a couple of days! The lighthearted conversation throughout our travels along with a knowledgeable guide made the trip an experience to remember. He was a very accommodating guide and always good for a hearty laugh! We enjoyed our time in Scotland with Stephen so much that we will be returning this year to see even more of Scotland and our favorite Scot!! Highly recommend exploring with Edinburgh Cab Tours!!

Excellent Tour As this was our first trip to Scotland we were not sure what to expect but wanted to learn about the Edinburgh and it's past. It was our son Christopher's 21st birthday. Andy showed up early and gave us a warm greeting. We hopped in the van and took off. From the start Andy was talkative and full of information and history. Andy has a vast knowledge of Scottish history as well as information on just about every historical building in Edinburgh. When we ask our son what the highlight of his trip was,he always gets back to this tour. Honestly, we were all a bit sad when it ended. Andy has his preplanned route but was more than willing to make changes. We had heard about the Colinton Tunnel and he took us there and walked us through giving historical info. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. Thanks Andy!!

Once in a lifetime tour Andy was amazing! He was so accommodating and easy to work with. We had a wedding and he picked us up and took us to the wedding destination. But we wanted to stop at a few places along the drive. He was so easy to work with in picking what places made the most sense and made sure everything timed out well so we arrived to our final destination on time. We will be using him again next time we go to Scotland and recommending him to all our friends and family!

A Perfect Overview of Beautiful Edinburgh Truly enjoyable, very professional and so entertaining describes our 4-hour tour with Andy. You’ve hit the jackpot if he’s your guide. Not only does he know his history but presents it in a way that seems more personal and relatable. Tips on where to shop for true Scottish goods, attractions not to be missed and restaurants that you probably should consider. Because of his suggestions, the next day, we booked a tour of the Royal Yacht Britannia and spent the evening at an amazing seafood restaurant, The Ship on the Shore. What a great day! Thanks, Andy!

Worth every penny! Book Andy. Andy knows his native city and knows how to show it off. It was truly a fun and informative deep dive into Edinburgh’s old and new towns. Andy’s passion for his hometown comes through and he tailors the tour to your specific requests, or you can just let him guide you. And for us older folks, in a city with some very steep hills, a welcome break from a walking tour. Highly recommend.

I just returned from a week in Scotland, and 5 days total with Andy of Edinburgh Cab Tours. Hiring a local is truly the best way to see a new country. Leaving the hustling city of Edinburgh behind, we ventured as far as the Isle of Skye, then through Inverness, making our return trip to the capital city via different routes, then down to the borders on another leg of our journey. We all know we cannot plan a vacation around the weather, and Scotland's skies are notoriously moody, but we made the best of it and had a truly wonderful time. Andy is professional, always on time, friendly, helpful, flexible, and his knowledge of Scottish history, geography, and culture is top-notch. I learned so much, saw so many interesting places, ate good food, and came home with a new appreciation for a country I knew little about prior to this trip. I'd recommend Edinburgh Cab Tours without hesitation, and will sing their praises to anyone who asks. Two thumbs up!

What an enjoyable time! We had the most enjoyable time with Andy. He was a wealth of information about each of the places we traveled to and brought us as close to points of interest as you could get in a vehicle, which was exemplary, as one in our party is handicapped. He was very entertaining and engaging as we explored Edinburgh and St. Andrew’s. We definitely recommend booking, and will share this contact info with our friends, as they travel to Scotland.

Shore excursion with Edinburgh Cab Tours We came to Edinburgh via cruise ship in early September. After researching a lot of private companies, we reached out to Edinburgh Cab Tours based on positive reviews and itinerary. So glad we did. In the months leading up to our visit, we communicated extensively with Andy, the boss. He offered detailed travel advice. For example, he suggested we shelve our original plan to split time between Edinburgh and St. Andrews, saying it would result in a whirlwind tour that would leave us dissatisfied. We opted for a leisurely journey to St. Andrews that included stops at two quaint fishing villages. Our day with Andy was an absolute joy. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to explore St. Andrews — the legendary golf courses, the university, the cathedral. His lunch recommendation was spot on and he offered to take many group photos. Most importantly, he was fun, a pleasure to talk to and answered all our questions — even the daft ones. He picked us promptly at the port and returned us to the ship with time to spare. Our travel group agreed the time spent with Andy was a highlight of the cruise. Highest recommendation! Thanks, Andy.

Custom Tour Edinburgh to Glasgow Andy led the four of us on a custom tour from Edinburgh to Glasgow with stops at Stirling Castle, Deanston Distillery, and a walk up Conic Hill. Andy is an excellent tour guide and his deep knowledge kept us entertained for the entire trip. I highly recommend him for any of the tours he offers.

Private tour of Edinburgh Andy gave us an amazing tour of Edinburgh. We saw all the important spots and his knowledge of the history was amazing! I definitely would recommend! I learned so much during the tour! As we were coming in on a cruise, he picked us at the ship and brought us back.

My wife and I selected Edinburgh Cab Tours based on a recommendation from a friend. We could not have been more pleased with both our private day tour as well as airport transfers (including transfer with city center tour). Andy was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and thoughtfully prepared a custom tour for us based on points of interest we wanted to see and the type of experiences we were looking to have. At each stop, he had information prepared to show us regarding historical pictures and maps and the like to enhance the experience of what we were viewing. We were picked up promptly both at the airport and also at our Air BnB. Although this tour was only my wife and I, Andy's vehicles are large and comfortable for groups and he has water/snacks onboard for the comfort of the passengers. For me it is worth a mention that Andy is not only a safe driver, but also very smooth. I feel the effects of motion-sickness easily and driving style has a big impact. I can assure you that everything was smooth and not once did I feel the effects of my motion-sickness. Each stop was well thought out regarding length of visit as well as stops for lunch. Andy also prepared several alternate choices for stops and lunch venues so that we could decide on the day how we wanted to proceed without interrupting the flow of the tour. At the end of our tour on the way to drop us back at our AirBnB, Andy was able to recommend several restaurants and also reliable tourist shops in the city center so that we could have a nice meal and find quality souvenirs at reasonable prices. Overall, I would highly recommend Andy and Edinburgh Cab Tours for your visit to Edinburgh and surrounding areas. I will definitely reach out to Andy again for my next trip as well as encourage friends visiting Scotland to consider him for a custom tour at very reasonable prices.

A must-do in Edinburgh! Andy is a brilliant tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable about Edinburgh, right down to having answers to left of centre questions about the city. The tour was very well structured, and gives a good sense of the history behind Edinburgh; contemporary Edinburgh; and was full of little tidbits we had no idea about. Andy himself is a delightful guy, well presented and professional. You would struggle to find a better, more comprehensive private tour than this. Wholeheartedly recommended.
