Charlotte is fantastic ! - Charlotte is a FANTASTIC guide. I think she’s the best tour guide I’ve ever had. She spent over 2 hours with me and is a fountain of knowledge of Scottish history and Outlander. She was very funny, friendly, and entertaining. She really knows her stuff and shares her knowledge with enthusiasm and joy. I’m terribly embarrassed that I didn’t have cash on me to give her an appropriate tip, she certainly earned it! If you’re the owner of the company who employs her, whatever you’re paying her, double it. She is an enormous asset to your company. I would do another tour with her in a heartbeat.

A great tour! - We had a great time on this tour! Charlotte was very communicative leading up to the event and then showed up like a trooper even though it was raining and cold. She dressed in costume and knew the city very well. We loved touring the Royal Mile with her!

Absolutely amazing! - This tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide was very knowledgable about history and had a lot of fun and interesting stories to tell, she really took her time with us and answered every question we had!
We learned a lot about Edinburgh's history, saw interesting sights and visited Outlander filming locations.
I would highly recommend this tour (and honestly any tour by this guide, she was amazing!)
