Flavian is fully invested in his mission to make us discover his adopted city. French by origin, he was seduced by Edinburgh and was able to share his proven knowledge with us. Thanks again. An extension as to the duration should be offered to visitors, 2 hours seems to be somewhat insufficient. I really recommend this "guide". Well done !!!

The guide didn't speak french and he had any historical notion on the City. We choose to stop the visit before excepted. Very expensive for what we Saw...
