Schools Old Edinburgh Tour - I did an Old Edinburgh tour with my 28 Primary 4 pupils recently. Robert was excellent and had them captivated throughout. They were historians looking at clues from the past and used old maps and photographs to discover the differences between Old Edinburgh and today. As an experienced primary teacher Robert knew how to hold their attention and his stories kept them entertained throughout. I would highly recommend this tour for any class studying the history of Edinburgh. Thank you!

This tour ROCKS, ROBERT is amazing at this - Robert took us on a tour round Edinburgh, Calton Hill, Grey Friars Kirk and other places, his upbeat tempo kept us completely focused on stories of Edinburgh even when the weather was awful in parts. He checked in with us regularly but my kids and guests had a ball on his tour! He knows his stuff really well and his approach is perfect for groups.

Robert Howie is THE BEST tour guide you can get! - This was a fantastic tour! Robert Howie, who is also a primary school teacher, is an absolute wealth of knowledge. He is not only knowledgeable, he is also very personable, humorous, entertaining, and just a pleasure to be around. You will not be disappointed! I’ve been on many different walking tours in different countries and his was THE BEST I have ever experienced. His teaching style is superb! We not only experienced the sights, but also the sounds, smells, and even the feeling of the history around us. You can tell that history and teaching are his passions. It is much more than just a walk through an ancient city, pointing out monuments as you go by. It is an in-depth dive into the past. It’s like drinking from a fire hydrant! Robert is the person you want to request if you are considering a tour of Edinburg or “ “EDD-in-buh-ruh”,” the way they say it! Thank you Robert! From: Jay & Ellen Phillips, Alabama, USA. :)

Fun, facts and fabulous views - This was such an interesting and good fun tour. As a long term Edinburgh it was great to find out so many new things about my city. Robert is a born storyteller and it was hugely entertaining from beginning to end.

Amazing guide - Robert was funny, friendly, informative, and had lots of local insight. He asked what we hoped to get out of the tour and provided a unique experience that our family loved. I enjoyed going down paths on the Royal mile that without a guide, we probably wouldn’t have noticed. And showed us some spectacular photo spots. The tour never felt rushed and I appreciate the little details throughout the town that he’d point out with historical stories. Our tour started with some rain but he rocked that quilt with confidence and I was happy he didn’t cancel on us because it was worth it!
