Five stars on TripAdvisor

Edinburgh Music Tours attract five star reviews on TripAdvisor from happy guests:

‘Great to discover Edinburgh after living here for 35 years. It was fun to take a trip down memory lane and remember all the haunts of my student days. Lots of fun stories and jokes too:)’ Rating 5/5

‘Great musical anecdotes. Guide knows his stuff and tells his musical tales with enthusiasm supported by knowledge and research. Enjoyed the company of the other music fan tourists and shared memories of people, venues and gigs from the 60s to the present. Folk, beat-groups, punk and post-punk all received a mention and this included local bands, not just the big stars. Highly recommended for locals and visitors.’ Rating 5/5

‘Excellent, informative and entertaining. Having previously lived in Edinburgh many years ago and gone to gigs here all my life I thought I knew it pretty well. But the Edinburgh City Music Tour was packed with so much new information and fabulous stories I’d never heard before, it was well worth doing. It’s delivered by knowledgeable and entertaining guides and a perfect way to experience a familiar city and see it in a totally new light (and from literally new angles!).’ Rating 5/5
