Lawrence was absolutely fantastic — engaging, caring, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He gave us what I honestly think were the best two hours we could possibly have spent in the museum. What made him particularly exceptional was his ability to engage a child without ever dumbing down the material. He broke history into wonderfully digestible chunks, brought it alive with funny and memorable stories, and had a very clever way of helping my nine-year-old son retain what he was learning: throughout the tour, he would unexpectedly circle back and quiz him on things they had discussed earlier. My son loved it — and, more importantly, remembered it! We came away learning and laughing in equal measure. Beneath all the jokes and entertaining historical details, Lawrence’s extraordinary depth of knowledge and genuine passion for his subject were unmistakable. My son was also fascinated to discover that Lawrence is a working archaeologist, which made everything he was telling us feel even more immediate and real. Lawrence has that rare quality of being able to hold an audience completely. Everywhere we went, I noticed other children — and quite a few adults — gradually drifting toward us and listening to his stories too. He was also genuinely caring and attentive. He noticed before we even asked that we needed a water break and made sure we took one. It was a small gesture, but very representative of how thoughtful he was throughout. A truly exceptional guide. If you are visiting with children, I cannot recommend Lawrence highly enough — although the adults will probably be just as captivated.

Jenny was an excellent tour guide. She was so knowledgeable about history and was able to convey wonderful stories about the city of Edinburgh . She related well with our grandchildren and got them involved in the tour in such a positive way. Our driver, Neil, was excellent too, and added his knowledge to the sites that we saw on the way to meet Jenny (and knew were all the best rest stops were). All in all, an excellent day with the short time we had available to visit the wonderful city of Edinburgh!
Elise is magical. Our girls were exhausted from a long travel day, and she still made their Louvre experience absolutely perfect. She built the whole tour around the girls so we could actually enjoy the museum while they soaked up all the important pieces along the way. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
