Brian

Hello, my name is Brian and I've been guiding in Edinburgh, Scotland and London for 15 years and very much enjoy showing this fabulous city of Edinburgh to the world. I spent 11 years working at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queens Official Residence in Scotland, before studying in London for a year to gain a Special Diploma in Tour Guiding.

Today, my focus is on Edinburgh and Scotland and I love learning more about this beautiful city and country.

It was a small sized group and Brian, recognizing that we were all interested in healthcare, took us to some interesting extra spots, such as the medical school!! We enjoyed the special treatment!

Sehr spannende Tour! Hatte sehr viel Spaß und war begeistert von all den interessanten Orten und Geschichten in Edinburgh. Besonders die ruhigen, abgelegenen Orte haben mich fasziniert. Brian hat die perfekte Mischung gezeigt. Große Empfehlung!

I have done a lot of guided walking tours around Europe - so I had great expectations and was expecting an amusing and interesting tour of the hidden gems of Edinburgh full of facts told in a structured and dynamic way. However, it was dull, slow paced and sometimes slightly painful! Hot tip: talk about Edinburgh and not about yourself! And don't include a very ugly window display of a teddy bear ... there are far more interesting places to see I'm quite sure!! Sorry to be harsh in my opinion but it is what it is!!

Response from Brian
Ann. I'm sorry your friends and yourself didn't enjoy the tour. To address some of your issues. The point of the tour is to talk about Edinburgh and the Edinburgh that is ignored by other tours. Not Harry Potter or ghost tours and to keep away from the usual subjects. To include Mary, Queen of Scots mother's palace, Susan Ferrier birthplace, St Giles Church etc. If this type of Edinburgh history isn't your thing perhaps you've booked the wrong tour.
