Royal Mile Guided Walking Tour in Edinburgh

Well knowledgeable guide and funny . Enjoyed every minute Will defo give recommendation To my friends

Richard was an excellent guide, taking us to parts of the old town which we had never visited before, or even knew existed. The warming hot chocolate in Deacon Brodie’s cafe, hidden away off the Lawnmarket, was very welcome. Lots of tales of old Edinburgh kept us entertained throughout the walk.

Stuart was an engaging guide who gave a great introduction to the Royal Mile. He was also helpful pointing out things we may want to return to later in our visit, as well as good places to shop for authentic souvenirs. We really appreciated his knowledge of things along the Royal Mile as well as his recommendations for further exploration.

We had an amazing walking tour with Stuart Usher, who is quite the character. Our 3-hour walking tour started at Usher Hall, note the family name, and we were lucky in that the other participants didn’t show up, so we had the pleasure of a private tour with Stuart. We walked up past the castle and spent most of the tour in the Old Town. Stuart was a great guide, extremely knowledgeable about Scotland and Edinburgh’s history, and many other topics, for that matter. We especially loved the stop at the café, where we continued to hear stories of Edinburgh’s notorious Deacon Brody. Stuart provided us with a great history of the city, and his witty storytelling was a highlight of the tour. I highly recommend spending a couple hours with Stuart, he’ll completely enchant you.

A bit of a wander, on the surface, but on the whole tour was a good mix of historical detail, literary reference, and geography of the city. Guide is a bit of a character but engaging and well versed in the little details that make the city come more alive.

We had an excellent tour Guide - "Richard" who made the walk very enjoyable and entertaining - we learned lots and our guide made it fun.

This was a pleasure for our first day in Edinburgh The tout was a small group that met at a convenient location Richard was very knowledgeable and a delightful local host for his city The tour was comprehensive and fun

Extremely knowledgeable with a wonderful sense of humor. Brought the old town section of Edinburgh alive.

We enjoyed a 10 person ( HOW did he remember our names??) walking tour with Robert and it was a marvelous introduction to beautiful Edinburgh. My husband is an architect and especially enjoyed Robert's architectural and historic knowledge of the city. He pointed out all the characteristics that make Edinburgh so unusual, quirky and beautiful. We saw things, learned history and heard anecdotes I am sure we never would have enjoyed on other tours. He also recommended restaurants and reputable cashmere shops along The Mile. I highly recommend and would do again if I am so fortunate to return to Edinburgh. Many thanks from Gene and Kathé!

Richard was an excellent professional guide. Tour was great and covered a lot of history and made Edinburgh more interesting. Answered all questions and had a lot of background. Great tour worth every penny.
