An Wonderful Experience about Edinburgh's City Tour for Harry Potter, Haggis & Horrible Histories Robert is an excellent storyteller and makes you feel more interest about the history of Edinburgh. Recommend to join his tour. He also recommended a good restaurant to me for trying a traditional Scottish food - haggis that was delicious. 😊

Best Harry Potter walking tour It was an amazing experience with a very knowledgeable and funny guide who was very adaptable to all our wishes and guaranteed we had the best time! We saw not only the most memorable places concerning Harry Potter (inclusive, some insider information) but also got to know Edinburgh better. Can't recommend it enough!

3 day Isle of Skye Tour We had the best time touring the Isle of Skye with Rob! Rob made an individualized itinerary for our trip combining sightseeing, hikes, castles, and other tours. He is full of historical knowledge, fun facts, and humor that made every moment of our trip feel intentional and unique. Rob was able to perfectly combine our goals with excellent suggestions of his own to make the most of our experience. All accomodations were comfortable and exactly what we needed. Could not have asked for a better visit through the Highlands and Isle of Skye and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a guided experience in Scotland.
