Stirling Castle and Trossachs National Park Stephane was an exceptional guide for our day visit from Edinburgh to the Kelpies, Stirling Castle and the Trossachs National Park. He had great photo op areas and let us take plenty of time to tour the c Vastle. He was very generous with snack bags , bottl d water, and some food for the Scottish Coos at the Trossachs. Great sense of humor made for an enjoyable day and he was willing to make a couple quick unplanned stops along the way. Highly recommend Atephane!
Fantastic full day tour with Stephen We booked a full day tour with Stephen in July 2023 and had the best time ever. Stephen is very knowledgeable and asks what you would like to tour. He made sure we were able to see everything we asked about and you could tell he really enjoyed his job. If you ever have a chance to go to Edinburg Scotland book a tour with Stephen, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I hope to go back to Ireland in a couple of years and I will definitely book with him again. Mindy Z
A day with Stephen We booked a private full day tour with Stephen in July of 2023. The day was an incredible and amazing experience that I will never forget! I was losing my vision at the time and I had a bucket list of things I wanted to see. Stephen made sure I got to see all on my list! He even told my sister that even if he had to throw me over his shoulder that he would make sure my list was completed! Amazing guide. He is so funny and knowledgeable about all things Scotland! He took us to see and Pet highland cows ( my obsession!), we are huge Outlander fans so went to Midhope Castle and Blackness Castle and re-enacted some scenes! . I also got to visit the Kelpies among so much more! I highly, highly recommend giving Stephen a call as I can promise he will make your trip into a lifelong wonderful memory.
5 star company!!! The one to use in Scotland I couldn’t recommend this company enough! Stephen is the most thoughtful and knowledgeable tour guide you could ask for. He learned a little about us and what we wanted to see and customized our stops to make our tours even more special, helped us get items to celebrate my moms 70th in a picnic and made a custom welcome sign for us! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the country as well! We did several tours w his company and private airport transfers and wish everyone would use him!!
Edinburgh in March We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide,Stephen was terrific. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He ensured we saw the most important areas of the city., whether by coach or on foot. Athough it was cold and a bit windy, he made sure we were always comfortable. We're already looking forward to our next experience.
Wonderful journey with Stephen Maloney We took the 4 hour private tour with Stephen. Our first stop was Rosslyn Chapel, but we were a bit early so he took us up to the castle as well, so we started the day with a good hike, and awesome stories. Every place he took us was spectacular and we would not have been able to experience as much on our own, Stephen Maloney is very knowledgeable about Edenborough history. His Mercedes wan is in great condition and and gave us good comfort on our journey. Great way of seeing Edinburgh in comfort. Plenty of stops to take photos, and no rush anywhere, after the trip he dropped us off in the city at a spot of our choice. 
41st wedding trip of a lifetime! We spent a wonderful day with Stephen. He was even able to adjust our trip when our travel plans changed. We really got to personalize our adventure! My husband and I learned a lot, enjoyed ourselves immensely and made a new friend! He’s an incredible storyteller who made Edinburgh’s history come alive, and he took us everywhere. The car was stocked with drinks and snacks (huge bonus!), and he knew all the best hidden spots for photos. Even better—Stephen took the pictures for us, using perfect angles that made us look fantastic. No awkward selfies required!
His timing was spot-on all day, but the grand finale was pure magic. He took us high above the city just as the sun was setting over Edinburgh, and the view was absolutely stunning—one of those moments you’ll never forget.
I truly cannot say enough good things about Stephen Maloney. If you want a tour that’s fun, relaxed, beautifully timed, and full of laughs, stories, and jaw-dropping views, book with him. He’s awesome!
Stephen Maloney is hands down the best tour guide ever and I travel a lot!!! Stephen Maloney is hands-down one of the most fun tour guides we’ve ever had!

Great way of seeing Edinburgh in comfort Stephen was our guide today on a 2 hour private tour. Drive us to most of the main " tourist" attractions/ places. Stephen is very knowledgeable, well accommodate wherever you want to go. Great way of seeing Edinburgh in comfort. Plenty of stops to take photos. Would definitely recommend.

Exceptional Tour We just returned from a fantastic 10 day tour with Mr. Stephen Maloney of Edinburgh Cab Tours. We traveled from Edinburgh to Bamburgh Castle, through the Dales of England, visited The World of James Herriot for all you fans of All Creatures Great and Small. Traveling up to Glasgow, the Isle of Skye in NW Scotland, Loch Ness and back to Edinburgh. Stephen is very honest, knowledgeable, never boring and very proud of his country. We plan on engaging him for another tour in the future.
Unforgettable Journey with Stephen Maloney I was warmly greeted by Stephen Maloney on my solo guided tour of Edinburgh. I felt completely welcomed and we just hit it off and had a fantastic start of the day. He was extremely knowledgeable of Edinburgh and its history and also explained historical detail which was amazing. He was always looking to see what we could do next which he never once disappointed me with all of his insight. He truly went out of his way to make sure I had the best experience. His willingness to help and guide you really comes through in everything he does. At the end of the day, I felt I made a friend in Scotland and will do my best to visit again.
