Recent Customer Feedback

						We couldn’t be happier with our decision to book with Edinburgh Cab Tours during our stop in Scotland! Our driver and guide, Steven, was phenomenal from start to finish throughout our 9-hour tour. He was incredibly in tune with exactly what we wanted our day to be, remaining flexible and pacing everything perfectly to suit us. He was always willing to answer our questions about Scotland's culture and history, and he offered to take photos of us at all the best spots so we could fully capture the memories.

We started our day with a visit to Stirling Castle, where Steven shared his knowledge of the fortress. Next, he took us to see the legendary Highland coos, and getting to actually hand-feed them was so fun! For lunch, Steven brought us to a fantastic local pub, the Westerton Arms, where we enjoyed an amazing meal. We wrapped up our day back in the city, exploring and doing some shopping along the historic Royal Mile. He even treated us to a much-appreciated coffee stop at the end of the day before dropping us back off directly at our ship. Having such a customizable, stress-free experience in the comfort of a private cab felt like exploring with a lifelong friend. If you book a tour, definitely ask for Steven!

						Edinburgh



We spent a full day with Stephen and it was amazing.   He met us right at the cruise ship dock in South Queensferry with a smile and some sarcastic jokes which we knew meant a fun day was ahead.



We headed to Sterling castle and he gave us a great tour in the places he was allowed to go without getting drawn and quartered for breaking their rules.  We then headed to see some Highland cows for some photos.  Then we headed to lunch at Westerton Arms which was delightful.   Then we hit the Royal mile for some Whiskey purchases/tastings and other shopping activity.



Finally we headed above town to get some fantastic views of the area near Edinburgh’s disgrace on Carlton’s hill.  Before grabbing some coffee and heading back to the ship.



This truly was a wonderful day in no small part due to Stephen’s wit ( or lack there of ). He was a joy to be around making us all laugh all day.  Keeping us engaged with his knowledge of where he lives.  I highly recommend you allow him to show you around when in the area.

						We met Stephen two years ago and this was our third year touring with him on our visit to Scotland! Stephen is the most conscientious guide we’ve had and would not see Scotland any other way!! This year we had a personalized itinerary. I sent him a list of places we would like to visit and basically told him to ‘make it work!’ He delivered on all levels. We hit every site, had great hotels, and a lot of fun! He adjusted our schedule daily as needed to make sure we hit every stop and had time to tour the location. We had a lot of laughs, visited out of the way places, and took a great many pictures. He has a great sense humor and is always focused on client satisfaction!! You cannot go wrong with Stephen at the wheel!

						Stephen is his name! Stephen is his name! ‘Braveheart’ tour which we were able to customize due to Stephen’s flexibility and he was lovely. Kelpies, Stirling, Monument, etc. He was able to adjust to what we were looking for which was one insane Wallace fan and a family of six others who saw the movie and were excited about it somewhat. Hit the highlights, moved quickly, and was an amazing day - the monument being the highlight, and the visit the Highland Coos - kids had an absolute blast! Thanks Stephen!
