We learned so much about Edinburgh’s history and it was a great way to explore the Old Town with a knowledgeable local guide. We would highly recommend…”

His knowledge of the subject was comprehensive and his love of everything Scottish and Edinburgh in particular obvious. He gave us some good recommendations among which was Oink, surely the most delicious fast food available anywhere in town. We’ll be back in the summer for the Fringe, another guided tour and another hog roast roll. Peter and Margaret Southerden”

“Bader was really an excellent tour guide; a walking encyclopedia so to say. A great tour to start your Morocco adventure.
