Truly fascinating history tour of Old Town. There is no way we would have enjoyed Edinburgh as much if we hadn’t had our guide to show us the historical sites and stories of the city. Because we were the only people on the tour, Stuart tailored the tour a bit to our interests in literature and philosophy.
