						Incredible Experience We just returned from our second trip to Scotland.  Last summer we toured with Stephen and chose to do so again this year!  He is very accommodating as we saw quite a bit last summer but not everything we had hoped due to location closures.  This year, we sent a list of locations we wanted to tour and Stephen made it happen!  We had two amazing days and saw everything on our list along with having a lot of laughs.  He is committed to making sure his clients have the best experience possible. Scheduling was flexible so we could spend more time at a location and still make it to the other spots.  His knowledge of Scottish history helps guests learn so much about the country's amazing past!  Highly recommend having Stephen as a guide!  It will truly make your experience one to remember!  Hoping to see him again soon!

						Luxury Tour of Edinburgh We had a great tour. Stephen knows all the streets of Edinburgh well. He was a cabbie for 20 years.  He was full of interesting facts and stories. We would use him again.

						Wonderful personalised 1 day Tour! My husband and I spent a wonderful day with Stephen Maloney from Edinburg Cab Tours. We did a personalised itinerary, which Stephen helped us put together. We had 3 specific activities we wanted to do, and Stephen worked out the timing and the stops for us along with suggestions for lunch and additional places of interest to stop at along the way. Stephen pointed out many places of interest and was very informative and fun to tour with. He provided us with information we would have otherwise not known. Because there was only two of us, we were driven around in a luxurious sedan. Very spacious and comfortable. We visited a farm (highland cows), The Kelpies, St Andrew’s, and a distillery, in addition to a leisurely drive along the coast back to Edinburgh. I would highly recommend Stephen and Edinburgh Cab Tours! We had an incredible time! Thank you.

						Do this tour with Stephen if you’re smart! Outstanding tour filled with fun, knowledge, and more fun. Stephen was an extremely knowledgeable and awesome guide. He did rock the kilt and had the calves to make it work!  A fun and cool guy who absolutely knows his way around his hometown. It was a super engaging and fun 4 hours. By the time you book a tour with Steven (and you should!!) he may be able to play the bagpipes for you as a value add (he may not play well but it’s bagpipes so how would you know?). Ask to see the cows as they are at a really cool venue. Do not go to Edinburgh without going on a tour as there is so much history and since you’re touring book Stephen. You’ll have a good time and meet a friend in Scotland!

						See Edinburgh with Stephen Maloney, Edinburgh Cab Company first! We got a wonderful 4 hour tour of Edinburgh on our first day visiting when we didn’t know anything about this amazing city. Stephen showed us the highlights, gave us ideas of what to do and see, what pubs are good, what foods we should try and what whiskeys are good! We saw the cemetery where JKRowling got her inspiration for character names, went up to Arthur’s seat, Calton hill, walked along a stream -water of Leith, all the while pointing out the buildings, amazing architecture and interesting points of interest.
