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

Andy provided an excellent day with interesting information of sights along the way. He asked if his wife Sarah could come along, and what a wealth of fun we enjoyed with both of them. We enjoyed the games and the benefit of an excellent, comfortable vehicle and the driving ability of Andy. The could not have been better. Thank you Andy and Sarah! read less

Our schedule was jam packed, and it was a struggle to squeeze in this tour. Then I found Andy thankfully! He accommodated my needs beautifully, prices are extremely fair, communication was prompt from start to finish, and he was so fun to be with! We learned a lot about Scotland during our trek to Stirling and during our visit to the castle. We managed to get to our next destination punctually as promised without feeling rushed. I would have booked more tours with Andy had I found him earlier in my planning. I highly recommend!

I also booked my airport transfer through Andy, and the driver was friendly and very efficient! You won't go wrong booking exciting and informative tours through Edinburgh Cab Tours! read less

We took a half day tour of Edinburgh with Andy and the the following day a full day tour up to Loch Lomond including the Kelpies, Stirling, Luss, battlefields and more.
Andy is delightful!...engaging, knowledgable, accommodating and fun! He shared entertaining stories and insights with us and made our tour glowing and memorable. WIsh we had more time with him to do the Highlands, but alas he is too good and was BOOKED SOLID! He suggested things we could do on our own and places we could go,, museums, restaurants, places of interest - and he was spot on! Do yourself a favor and book him early! Be prepared ...his kilt and sporran are knockouts!

LIttle did we know that COVID had other plans and we would have to wait two years longer before getting to go on our Scotland adventure. It was worth the wait and the biggest reason why was because of Andy. We did several day tours from Edinburgh and a 5 day highland trip with Andy. The highlight had to be the Isle of Skye, some of the most beautiful scenery we have ever seen. Andy prepared each day masterfully with stops we had wanted to see and those he suggested. We were never rushed and he had always stories and history of each location we visiting. It is incredible the amount of knowledge he has on his beloved Scotland. Best thing about Andy, is he is more than just a guide. It is traveling with a friend. We spent just as much enjoying our time in the car with Andy, laughing and learning more about each other, as we did the sights. Andy is one of the good people in this world and we are glad to call him a friend. During our adventures he took great care of us - always on time, taking consideration of food choices, different ages, fitness levels and interests. His love for his job and country shine through at all times. You will not be in better hands visiting Scotland. Do not hesitate to reach out and contact him, you will not regret it. Thanks again Andy, we cannot wait to see Sarah and you again in the future sometime. Slainte - Mark, Amanda, Rowan & Emily. read less

Since they aren't able to walk around as much as they used to be able to, I found the 4-hour cab tour with Andy online and booked. What a great idea! We had such an amazing time getting to see all the sights in Edinburgh including different viewpoints of the Castle, the palace, viewpoints of the city, old ruins, the new town, old town, etc. Andy is also extremely knowledgeable of Edinburgh's history and the current events of Scotland, which made the entire tour great for those eager to learn more about the country (like my parents 🙂 ). I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Edinburgh with limited time or without the ability to spend all day walking to see the sights. Thanks so much, Andy! read less

We're a family of our parents and 4 adult children. Andy made everything so easy for us. Everyone was pleased with the variety. He shared wonderful stories, always checked in to see if we needed anything during our 4 hour tour, took us to the best spots, and made special accommodations for walkability. We wish we would've booked another day with him. We'll be sure to do so in the future and would recommend him to anyone, young or old! So glad our family had this day together. We hope to see you stateside someday, Andy! read less

Andy Became Our Friend Dear Andy,

What can we say about Scotland that is not superlative?... read moreDear Andy,

What can we say about Scotland that is not superlative? We have seen most, not all, of Western Europe 25 times. We found the Scots to be affable, gentle, 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.

This was my first time in a cab tour, and hands-down it beats any bus tour I have taken in the past. It was great to have the flexibility to make minor detours on fly - for example, on the way to Scotland's "Secret Cold War Bunker", he spotted a castle on the hill that he was not familiar with, and asked if we might want to hike up and check it out - which of course we did, and so we got to see Balvaird castle in Perthshire. Andy is knowledgeable on all the sights and really explained a lot about each location. This was also my first time in Scotland, so that was very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Edinburgh Cab Tours to any of my friends. read less

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

When we were booking the tour Andy's communication was great and we arrived at the Green Steps with high expectations. From the start he was so entertaining, friendly and the tour was really interesting.
The 3 hours went without us even noticing and he was kind enough to even drop us for afternoon tea at PrestonField House in his new Merc people carrier.
We learnt so much but it was far from just a history lesson, Andy was great company and there was lots of laughter.
There seem like there a lot of tours in Edinburgh but I would challenge you to find a better person to do it than Andy. read less

Well it was BRILLIANT! We had a great time - so informative and interesting and Andy is a real gent! Such a nice guy and so passionate about Edinburgh and the history of the old town. We did 3 hrs walking tour and it was perfect.

We were looking for someone to take us from Edinburgh to the Jim Clark museum at Duns and then on to Chirnside to Jim's final resting place. Andy replied really quickly with a proposed itinerary and we are so glad that we went ahead and booked!

Andy took care of all the arrangements for us, booking the museum tickets and a table for lunch at the Jim Clark cafe in Duns. On the day, he was great company and not only took us to the places we wanted to visit but a couple of additional Jim Clark related sites too. Having the foresight of taking an excellent bottle of whisky for a toast at the graveside was a lovely touch. During the journey, Andy pointed out places of interest and enlightened us with a little Scottish history.

I would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a tour or driving services around Edinburgh. He was so helpful, friendly, reliable and punctual and an absolute pleasure to spend a day of our holiday with. read less
