We loved this 2 hour tour of historical Edinburgh, which had been recommended to us by friends. Daniel was great fun and very entertaining. His storytelling brought to life the historical facts and figures of this wonderful city and at the end of it I had a much better knowledge of Edinburgh and its people. His dog is lovely too! Thanks Daniel, you were so funny and certainly lived up to the 5* recommendation we'd been given!

Absolutely the best walking tour I have been on. Daniel combines great humor, with great historical knowledge. I would recommend this as a must do tour when visiting Edinburgh.

Daniel was so funny, charming and very knowledgeable about Scottish history. He was both informative and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour! Just a note for older folks, it's up and down many a steep hill, be prepared for some exercise!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and laughed the whole way through. Perfect if you like history, laughing and light hearted banter! A great way to see the city and get a comedy show in at the same time. 100% recommend!

Definitely one of the best walking tours I have been on. Daniel was just hilarious, I had tears of laughter roll down my face. He certainly knows a lot about Edinburgh too, so it was a really good mix of hysterics and history, We were with a large group of people, yet he remembered everyone’s name and included everyone with his slagging, lol. Really good value for money too as it is a packed 2 hour tour. If you are easily offended,this isn’t the tour for you, but it you aren't then it is a must, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Daniel, we really had a memorable fantastic time.

Daniel is an animated, gifted, delightful, detailed story-teller & tour guide. And quite the exquisite reciter of magnificent Scottish poetry. Especially appreciated his having everyone introduce themselves: sharing names, occupations, 'homeland' and Daniel then remembering all of it, making for a more personal, fun, 'connected' group. His self-deprecating humor, wealth of 'Scottish' knowledge & tour pace made for a memorable, highly enjoyable & uniquely educational experience in busy, bustling, rainy Edinburgh. (Daniel's tour NOT appropriate for young kids; may not be enjoyable for anyone easily offended by 'salty stories' occasionally laced with 'F' bombs. However, my husband & I ... almost 70!!! who have never used 'above' language, thoroughly enjoyed Daniel's brilliantly 'vivid' story-telling of Scotland's complicated, fascinating, heartbreaking & vibrant history.) Daniel clearly loves his homeland - his energetic sharing of obviously well-researched Scottish history, with some 'steamy/saucy' yet, relevant 'asides' made for a uniquely unforgettable & enlightening Edinburgh adventure. Learned a lot of 'complicated/surprising history.' IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Bonus: Meeting Daniel's sweet, adorable, friendly, fluffy dog... Slainte, DANIEL! (Eileen & Terry, Oregon)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a turly fantastic way to explore Edinburgh. Such laughs. Daniel is brilliant, this is one of the best city tours that I have ever been on. Great host with great historical facts. Not for the faint hearted, you need to have a sense of humour. I booked this for our birthday weekend in Edinburgh and we would highly recommend it as Daniel brought this beautiful city to life through laughter. Thank you!! We will be back and I will definitely rebook as it's such fun.

We had this tour recommended to us by a work colleague and we weren't disappointed. Very enjoyable tour and well worth doing. Be open minded and have a sense of humour. Don't take yourself too seriously. Daniel knows his stuff and is very funny. Takes the time to get to know everyone. You'll learn some cool stuff about the history of Edinburgh's old town. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this tour. We are a family group of 6 and we all agreed Daniel is a fabulous tour guide who knows his stuff. He makes a point of getting to know who you are and makes you feel included. We loved this tour and the banter, and there were certainly lots of laughs along the way! The best walking tour I have done yet! Thanks Daniel.

We've come to Edinburgh for our honeymoon and had read many of Daniel's positive reviews, so couldn't wait to get a spot on one of his tours. We cannot stress enough how hysterical this guy is! He blew us away with his knowledge, quick wit, self deprecating humour, and ability to cajole a smile out of even the most shyest of group members. There may have been a smattering of p!$$ taking, and occasional use of bad language, but all in good humour. We cannot recommend Daniel and Brahan (his equally as charming Goldendoodle) enough, if you come to Edinburgh you cannot miss out on this - of you do then you're just a daft old jobbie.

This was our absolutely favorite tour in Edinburgh! Daniel was brilliant, funny, unbelievably able to connect with everyone there, and had so much historical knowledge that we could have spent all day hanging with him! He gave us pertinent and interesting information about Edinburgh and took us to many interesting places we wouldn’t have otherwise seen - and he did it in a hilariously fun way. If you get the chance to do this tour, jump at it, he was over the top great!!

Nice mix of history and comedy with plenty of stories and banter. Daniel was so good at remembering names and made sure to include everyone. The tour included the upper part of the royal mile and also some areas beyond, which was good as I then felt I had seen more of the city. Thanks Daniel :)

Booked this tour with a group of six friends during our return visit to Edinburgh. This was a refreshing tour of the city with a comedic twist of Scotland. Our tour guide, Daniel, is very quick witted and we were impressed with his versatility to delve out comedic jabs to the group based on their home countries that included the U.S., Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, and Scotland. Read the tour description carefully because this is a tour for people that know how to take a joke and not take things personally. He’s a comedian for god’s sake! Be prepared for quick whit that is very humorous, foul language, and a fresh take on the typical boring history tours that can be so serious that you forget to enjoy it. If you’re easily offended, lack the ability to catch quick jokes, or just don’t enjoy a really fun time with a charismatic comedian, skip this tour and book something else. We will continue to recommend this tour to everyone we know to ensure their visit to Edinburgh is enjoyable, fun, and memorable. Great job, Daniel! We appreciated your refreshing refrain from the political correctness to bring some levity and laughs to our tour, and of course, the education of our newest word, “jobbie!” Highly recommended tour for comedy, levity, laughs, enjoyment, and deviation from the Status Quo!

What a fabulous experience with Daniel and Bran, one can only assume that Bran (the dog) has trained his master (the comedian) very well as Daniel followed Bran exactly where he wanted to go! The Aussies had a great laugh, still laughing just thinking of our time with Daniel. Great work, very enjoyable, if you can’t take a joke, don’t take the tour ! Laughing is good for the soul and we were overloaded. Thanks Daniel & Bran

We booked this based on the superb TripAdvisor reviews, a change from our usual city walking tours and basically because of Brahan, the handsome doggy! WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! In fact we laughed almost continuously for 2 hours and were still talking about how brilliant it was for the rest of our stay in Edinburgh! Be prepared for some fabulous historical facts, some hilarious mickey-taking and a very gentle dog who pays everyone equal attention during the tour. Daniel is extremely knowledgeable, talented and passionate about his business and that shines through. Highly recommended!

Definitely recommend Daniel's tour..very funny ..and made a difference to the usual ghost and underground tours on offer. Daniel gets to know everyone on the tour and yes you do become the butt of a few jokes but it's all good fun. Learnt a bit more about Edinburgh - a city we love and have visited many times- all whilst having a good laugh along the way. Daniel is an engaging story teller. In fact the reason we booked the tour was we had done all of the tourist attractions and museums etc over the years and we were looking for something a bit different and we were so pleased we did. Throughly enjoyed it and of course we have to mention the amazing Bonnie Prince who stole the show!! If you are looking for a tour to do in Edinburgh we would 100 percent recommend without hesitation. Thank you Daniel.

Daniel gave us a funny & energetic tour of Edinburgh. He straight away spent 10 mins getting to know us all which was nice and set up all the mickey taking to follow lol. I loved Dans humourous angles on the historical stories and his passion for Edinburghs history. We went as a family and took our (older) teenagers. They loved it. Thanks Dan.
