Thankfully, we had the good fortune of having Andy meet us at the pier, well before our scheduled time. Andy took us with his comfortable six-seater Mercedes to the beautiful city of Edinburgh, which was absolutely stunning. It quickly became clear that we were in the hands of a fabulous docent. Andy is a natural storyteller, and kept us engaged and entertained throughout the tour. He shared the city's interesting history, seasoning the facts with lots of amusing, moving, shocking or even creepy stories and gossip. He led us to the city's best viewing points, walked us through the Royal Mile from the Castle to the Palace and Scottish Parliament, and showed us lots of 'secret' marvellous spots that we would never have discovered without him. Our four hours together passed like a breeze, and we were thrilled when Andy agreed to add two more hours to our tour. If we didn't have to be back on time on the ship, we probably would have stayed with him until this very moment... We cannot thank Andy enough for the great time we had together. He is by far one of the most amazing guides we've had the pleasure to know. We highly recommend Andy as your docent for your next trip to Edinburgh. Just be sure to book him well in advance, as he is extremely popular and may not be available. read less

Our driver, Andy, tailored and coordinated all aspects of the trip well in advance of our travels. This included procuring our tickets for the Kelpies, Falkirk Wheel, and the Stirling Castle. He even coordinated lunch at The Portcullis, a fine Scottish restaurant at the foot of the Stirling Castle. He showed up at our flat in a new Mercedes Van in full Scottish regalia. Personable and knowledgeable, Andy shared Scottish history, the layout of the land, and gave tips on driving. We highly recommend this service, but be warned—you need to plan well in advance as Andy has a very full schedule. Contact him early to make arrangements.

From the start, Andy was very accommodating, quick to respond to questions, and easy to work with. He asked if we had any specific sights we wanted to see, and offered to modify the tour agenda to make sure we had the best experience possible. We didn't need to change a thing - the West Highland tour already hit all the major sights, including a stop to feed hairy coos - something my wife has been talking about for months! On the day of the tour, Andy arrived promptly wearing his kilt! His van was spacious and clean, and was well stocked with snacks for the day. As we drove out of the city, Andy pointed out interesting facts and sights about Edinburgh before heading to the highlands. Andy kept the conversation engaging by telling us about Scottish culture, clans, history, etc. and answering our questions. There was simply nothing we asked him that he didn't know! He even gave us a few quizzes to test our knowledge of the area. One of our last stops of the day was at Rest and Be Thankful. There, Andy described the different kinds of scotch whiskies, and offered us a wee dram to sample. It was amazing. At the end of the day, Andy offered to let us drop our belongings at our flat, and he said he'd drive us to wherever we wanted to go for dinner! We didn't take him up on that offer, but it just exemplifies the kind of person and tour guide he is. We'd love to return to Edinburgh someday, and when we do, we'll call on Andy to set up another tour! Andy and Edinburgh Cab Tours are the Best!!! read less

He crammed a lot of information into the tour in an interesting, informative and entertaining way. He began with a fast history lesson of Scotland and then we began our walk around Edinburgh’s old town. Stopping to look at the outside of St Giles Cathedral and hear about its foundations. Next stop was a gruesome monument where thieves were discouraged. He went onto show us some key motivating sites for JK Rowling’s Harry Potter books.

I contacted Andy months ago to arrange a day's tour. This was very important to us as it was to be a trip to my wife's first visit to her mother's hometown of Leven.
Andy arranged the day so that we could see the sights of Edinburgh early in the morning and arrive in Leven in time for lunch with relatives.
We were able to catch the first tender and arrived on shore an hour ahead of our scheduled meeting time. Andy was there less than 15 minutes later!
We were all amazed at how quickly we got off the boat, but thankfully we were able to take full advantage of that extra time because Andy was so early.
The tour of Edinburgh was spectacular!
We saw the castle from at least a dozen angles and Andy's knowledge of the key sights both historical and mythological was thorough and entertaining.
After lunch in Leven we went to St. Andrews and had a delightful tour of that amazing area.
Our only regret is that we couldn't spend a week with Andy showing us the amazing sights of Scotland. read less

We were picked up at the flat (BnB) in Leith at the designated time. Our tour (7hrs) started off with a drive around Queen's Drive then to Craigmillar Castle,Gilmerton Cove followed by lunch at Sheep Heid Inn then off to Rosslyn Chapel. On the way back into Edinburgh we stopped off to visit some hairy coos in the field. You can go into the field and pet them if you want. Andy is very knowledgeable on the area, history and an all around great guy. Our van was perfect for our journeys. Another benefits using Andy over another tour is flexibility and not being rushed nor herded like cattle at the sites. His time is your Time. We had a great day out and he managed to come into the see Gilmerton Cove for the first time. If you want the BEST, Andy is the guy to call. He might even show up in his kilt. Cheers!! read less

Andy drove us to Pitlochry Scotland to attend the Highland Games. What an event to witness and enjoy. Andy, asked if his wife Sarah could ride along and attend the games with us. Between both Andy and Sarah we had a joyous time learning of history and events along the way. Highly recommend Edinburgh Cab Tours for anyone who is looking for a spectacular tour. We will look forward to return trips with Andy. read less

This tour is a fantastic way to pack in alot of sights & as this was our 1st visit to Edinburgh it gave us some insight into which attractions etc we wanted to see more of. Andy is engaging and informative, an all round great guy. He booked us lunch at the Old Bell in Edinburgh, a lovely good old fashioned pub with lots of character, very clean, our meals were lovely, steak pies, fish & chips and Haggis, highly recommended. Andy I personally take my hat of to you, 8 hours of my hubby's bad jokes, 🤡🙉, all taken with a great sense of humour and a smile 😆🤩, maybe a stiff drink when you got home lol. All the best to you.

We have seen most, not all, of Western Europe 25 times. We found the Scots to be affable, gentle, warm, polite, unassuming, cultivated, funny, and witty. Their history is fascinating and their culture splendid. We spent 7 days in Edinburgh and 5 days on a radius about two hours away. We tried to see everything of cultural and historical value in Edinburgh, sometimes twice. I need not itemize this for you. Our hotel was in the New Town, which is itself a monument. On our days away we went to Culzean Castle, Stirling, the Trossachs, St. Andrews, the Fife Coast, including the bridges across the Firth of Forth, the Falkirk Wheel, Rosslyn Chapel, and the Border Abbeys. I need not describe these in detail either. In short, were you to ask us which of these 25 trips has been the best we would reply without hesitation it was this one. One reason is, in this trip we started with you as our guide and ended the trip with you as our friend. You made every effort to show us places we wished to visit where you had not been before, made us feel at home, and shared with us the history and culture of your captivating country. Again, we thank you. Margarita and Néstor read less

I found Edinburgh Cab Tours on google, left Andy a voice message, he responded quickly, and we set up a time for him to collect me the following day for a tour around the areas I wished to see. Driving about, he gave me insider-tips on the various neighbourhoods so that by the time he dropped me back at my hotel two-hours later, I felt as though I had a much better sense of the city and where I might want to live. Andy is a consummate professional, I’d highly recommend him and his Cab Tours. read less

From the moment he picked us up, it was 4 hours full of history, insights, and incredible moments of seeing Edinburgh. This is a must if you are planning a trip and want to get the most in-depth understanding of the city, it's history and what would be important to do and see while in Edinburgh. We had a flight delay coming into Scotland and Andy was amazing at accommodating our new schedule...we were so grateful! Andy is an amazing tour guide and I would recommend him to anyone visiting this beautiful city! read less
