We haven't been able to travel for a while and booked a private virtual tour on Zoom. It was honestly an amazing experience!
Robert is very knowledgeable and engaging, and his enthusiasm is contagious. He had many interesting (and sometimes dark and scandalous!) facts to share about Edinburgh's history.
We had several family members join the Zoom call from different locations. There were no problems with lagging and the quality was very clear. He used a 360 view of Edinburgh that had no crowds, and also included overlays of relevant historical documents and pictures at a few points throughout the tour. It was a great way to experience the tour without physically being there.
Our family really had a blast - when we finally visit Edinburgh in person we'll be booking a walking tour with this company!
