Wife & I wanted wanted something more than a cruise ship tour, when our cruise docked in Edinburgh. Found Kevin via his reviews on TripAdvisor. A tour with Kevin is sometking special & not to be missed! You'll make stops where no organized tour will and hear stories only a 'local' can tell you. I've told the story of 'battleship' island to may friends already. Kevin reserved a table for lunch for us at a local restaurant he & his wife frequent. If you are looking for a private tour of Edinburgh, Kevin is the man to schedule it with!
