Excellent tour of Edinburgh with Karine , simple but in-depth explanations with a look at the history of this city with its sometimes turbulent past.
The headphones are a Plus that seems undispensable.
Thank you to Karine and also to Aude for an absolutely beautiful stay in this beautiful City and Highland region.

Fascinating visit with Aude, who took me into the history of Edinburgh from its earliest days.
Royal Mile, the closes, Mary Stuart, Kings James… I began to discover the history of the city and that of Scotland at the same time thanks to Aude.

We had a great time with Aude our guide, we had just arrived in Edinburgh and took a guided tour with the family.
Aude was great, she gave us a three-hour tour of the old town, passing through places that we would never have missed on our own, and was treated to anecdotes about Harry Potter and of course Outlander.
I recommend this site with my eyes closed, Karine was very responsive to my questions by email.
Everything was perfect.
