Andy was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and thoughtfully prepared a custom tour for us based on points of interest we wanted to see and the type of experiences we were looking to have. At each stop, he had information prepared to show us regarding historical pictures and maps and the like to enhance the experience of what we were viewing.
We were picked up promptly both at the airport and also at our AirBnB. Although this tour was only my wife and I, Andy's vehicles are large and comfortable for groups and he has water/snacks onboard for the comfort of the passengers. For me it is worth a mention that Andy is not only a safe driver, but also very smooth. I feel the effects of motion-sickness easily and driving style has a big impact. I can assure you that everything was smooth and not once did I feel the effects of my motion-sickness.
Each stop was well thought out regarding length of visit as well as stops for lunch. Andy also prepared several alternate choices for stops and lunch venues so that we could decide on the day how we wanted to proceed without interrupting the flow of the tour.
At the end of our tour on the way to drop us back at our AirBnB, Andy was able to recommend several restaurants and also reliable tourist shops in the city center so that we could have a nice meal and find quality souvenirs at reasonable prices.
Overall, I would highly recommend Andy and Edinburgh Cab Tours for your visit to Edinburgh and surrounding areas. I will definitely reach out to Andy again for my next trip as well as encourage friends visiting Scotland to consider him for a custom tour at very reasonable prices.
The transfers were seamless; our thanks to Allan for taking the stress out of our journey!
We arranged to be collected from Edinburgh airport and as the flight was due to arrive before we could check in, Andy advised us he would arrange to guide us around Edinburgh on a mini tour .
As soon as we landed he had instructed us to just call him after we had gone outside and let him know which lane we were in. This is actually such a good system as we went straight to lane one and he was there within a minute.
He took our luggage for us and then informed us he would take us over to Queensferry to see the three bridges and have a nice coffee in the restaurant overlooking the sea.
We then were given a whistlestop 2 hour tour and saw all the sights including JK Rowling Harry Potter Inspired sites including Princess Street ( Diagon Alley ) and wand shop ! Greyfriars Cemetery , the boarding schools and more.
We also went to the top of Nelson Monument , Calton Hill which overlooked at all the main tourist sites and much more.
Andy was immaculately turned out and presented, very informative and knowledgeable and made us feel extremely welcomed and special.
If you are looking to book someone who is reliable, friendly and will tailor make any itinerary you need do not hesitate to book this man !
Highly recommended and a massive thank you from Ann & Sue

I highly recommend Andy as a great way to be introduced to Edinburgh for newbies like us.
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.
