Best Tour Guide. We had 5 tours planned with Stephen this month (April 2025). We went to many places in mid Scotland, Highlands, York England, Hadrian’s Wall, Carlisle England among others. Stephen worked with us to make sure we got the most out of each tour. He is very knowledgeable about the tours he gives and points out many other interesting places along the way. He is extremely personable and easy going and becomes like family. I took a tour with him in 2022 when I was in Scotland and this time I wanted him as our tour guide again. You will get the best tours possible with Stephen. I can’t wait to go back to Scotland and will definitely contact him for all my tours on that visit also. read moreread less
Amazing trip Stephan was great. He took us on a few different tours while we were in Scotland. He is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. He put together the perfect tours for us. Such an amazing trip. Thank you Stephan read moreread less
The best option for an Edinburgh tour ! Online organization and assistance was smooth and excellent. The tour with Stephen Maloney was first class. Stephen figured out very quickly what we would like and crafted the tour accordingly. Rosslyn chapel and castle were the highlights. Thank you Stephen read moreread less
Great driver and great experience! Stephen was fantastic! Very easy to spot as soon as I walked through the protected area of the airport and he was a great driver with lots of great stories and advice about Edinburgh. Would definitely recommend! read moreread less
Great guide and driver for Scotland We were very pleased we booked the 4 hour driving tour with Stephen as well as multiple airport pick ups. The car alone is spacious and classy, very comfortable and sufficient luxury for anyone. But Stephen is such a great guy to be around, very likeable, funny and he was a great guide on our tour. He was flexible, engaging, and we had a great time with him. We felt like we made a friend in Scotland and I absolutely would not hesitate to book anything with him while exploring Scotland. read moreread less
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! read moreread less
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! read moreread less
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!! read moreread less
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!! read moreread less
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! read moreread less
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! read moreread less
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. read moreread less
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. read moreread less
