Privé Greyfriars Kirkyard geschiedenis tour

Terrific tour with Robert. The history tour of the Greyfriars Kirkyard was interesting and informative. Thanks for leading such an amazing and fun tour.

Knowledgeable and funny, Robert covered a lot of ground and went into just enough tangents. The strangeness of Scottish history came through! Highly recommended!

I had a fabulous tour with Robert at Greyfriars. I LOVE Scotland and its sad but fascinating history, and for some reason also love old graveyards! I was really looking forward to it, and Robert did not disappoint. He was on time at the meeting place, which was easy to find. I told him up front what I was interested in learning about -- the oldest and most historically interesting graves, and the people associated with them. We did the loop of the graveyard, and Robert provided a really interesting background on many of the graves, which are stunning to look at, by the way. Robert also brought background material, such as records of burials (in the 1700s!) and drawings/sketches of portraits of people of historic significance. At the end of the tour, he pointed out the National Museum of Scotland and actually walked me over. I was overwhelmed by its sheer size. I had not considered spending time there, but I definitely will in the future. Robert is hugely knowledgeable about history, easy to listen to, and very interesting. I highly recommend this tour (or others he may offer).

Omg I can’t remember this wonderful guides name but he was great. He was a schoolteacher of 10 year olds born and raised right here in Edinburgh Scotland!! He was great and boy did he know his history!! But it wasn’t dry, he had a great humerus personality and shared his enjoyment of history in such a way that you enjoyed it too!! Great tour!

This tour was one of my favorite parts of Edinburgh. Robert was fantastic and hilarious. Exactly the kind of tour we were looking for. I highly recommend.
