Recent TripAdvisor Reviews

  • "DAVID IS AN ICON!! - David is such a positive individual with incredible insight about Edinburgh and photography! He took us into so many places that we wouldn’t have known existed, and taught us about leading lines and the rule of thirds. He was kind and considerate of everyone’s energy levels, and treated us to a coffee (or milkshake) as a quick break from the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour! David is in fact, an icon."

  • "A GREAT EXPERIENCE! WOULD GIVE IT MORE THAN A 5 IF I COULD - This was a great part of my trip. Along with David being an incredible guide, he took me to places that I did not know existed. He has such a passion about Scotland and photography and it was a really fantastic time. I know this review is pretty short. But I could go on for a long time about this. It was a really great time."

  • "20 STARS - If I could give David 20 stars I would. David is very knowledgeable of the history and photo spots in Edinburgh. We feel like we made a friend. He truly cares and that is rare these days. If you want a history lesson and take Iconic photos, take David's tour. You won't be sorry.
