Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Exploring Edinburgh
Oct 2023 • Family
We spent a wonderful four hours with Andy . He shared with us interesting information about the various points of interest we visited. There was ample time for photos at the different spots. We couldn’t have been more pleased. It is a very worthwhile way to explore the city.

10:/10; this is a must do tour!
This was a 10/10. Tour was so informative. Car was spotless. Inclusive of my mother who has hip issues and my two year old. Much love from Texas.

Repeat visitors to Edinburgh with Andy
Sep 2023 • Couples
8 hrs flew by in a flash. We were return visitors with Andy. I booked a year in advance so we would be able to tour with him. Andy is excellent at communicating and guiding. We modified the suggested itinerary and he made it all fit. I had only one day out of Edinburgh to see as much of the Highlands as possible. We feel we achieved our goal. Thanks Andy. Hope our paths cross in the future.

Amazing experience with Andy!
Jul 2023 • Family
We had signed up for a private day tour with Andy, but he went beyond what we thought would be just a tour day. We had family members that had to be flown into Edinburgh and Andy made sure that we were able to collect them and return them to our ship. My wife and I continued on the day tour and Andy's knowledge and experience made our tour exciting and delightful: history, where to shop and dine, how to avoid long lines, background stories. His kindness and thoughtfulness can't be adequately expressed, because he truly is an amazing guide!

Seven Years Later....touring again with Andy
Sep 2023 • Friends
Seven years ago, we spent a memorable day touring the city with Andy of Edinburgh Cab Tours. We were finally able to return to Scotland this month and we were once again able to spend a day with this wonderful guide and caring person. In fact, Andy was the first guide we contacted after making our first cruise deposit almost two years ago. This visit, Andy made our dream of visiting Blair Castle a reality. Because of our family heritage and a travel companion's personal link to the castle, Blair Castle was important for us to visit. Andy made the day perfect. Not only did we visit Blair Castle under his guidance, he made certain that we had time for other stops including the darling village of Pitlochry, Tibbemore Parish Church (the scene of the Outlander witch trial, and Dunfermline Abbey. It was a day filled with fun, beauty, history, mystery, and legends! We felt our visit was absolutely magical and made even better by being able to spend the sunshine-filled day with Andy!

Hi Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful review. Let me start off by saying how much I enjoyed spending the day with you all. You made my day easy because you were all so enthusiastic and asked questions. But it is even more satisfying that you came back to book with me despite your last tour with me being 7 years ago. Who knows? We might see you again for a third time. Best wishes to you all. And

Great 2 days spent with Andy!!
Sep 2023 • Couples
My husband/I booked Andy for our bucket list trip to Edinburgh well over 1 year in advance - as we only wanted him as our guide! We've been blessed to do private tours Internationally for past 20 years - and Andy offers everything you could look for in a guide. He offers customized tours, is extremely knowledgeable and kind! If you love history, stories/facts, details while seeing all the best places - Andy is your guide!! We sent him a very customized list we wanted for our 2 full days with him - one day being in The Borders seeing: Floors Castle, Melrose, Abbottsford House, and Roslyn Chapel. 2nd day: splitting our time between Old/New Town and visiting Hopetoun House. All the sights I felt were must see - highly recommend!! Andy is delightful company - highly recommend his services!!

As you and your husband are both well travelled and have previously used private tour guides in other destinations, thank you so much for your wonderful review. It helped that you knew what you wanted to see and you left it with me to put the itinerary together for you. Thank you for recommending my services. Kind Regards Andy

A great introduction to Edinburgh
We landed early morning and had made arrangements for Andy to meet us - a perfect way to start the visit and fill in the hours before hotel checkin time. Andy could not have been more delightful and knowledgeable, and the tour he provided was a perfect blend of Edinburgh highlights and historical overview. We would highly recommend his services!

Five Star Review for Andy
Aug 2023 • Family
Andy with Edinburgh Cab Tours picked my husband and I up at the airport on Sept. 5th and the next day provided a four hour tour of the city for us. He was a life saver as far as starting our vacation off on a good note. Andy is very professional with a wealth of knowledge about the area. He was prompt with answering all of my communications before and during the trip and he also had a kind attitude toward answering any questions that I or my husband had in general no matter how silly they might be. We didn’t take one of the longer tours that he offers but I am sure that he would be an excellent choice for any excursions because of his great work ethic and attitude.
