⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My 11 yo nephew and I did the tour and really enjoyed it. I appreciate how he tailored the tour for his age. This was our third tour in Edinburgh and a small sliver was information that we heard on other tours but most of it was new information and really interesting. It was the best tour in Edinburgh that we did. I had to take the day off work to do it and it was worth it. He followed all COVID guidelines and even made book recommendations to us. I highly recommend.” Helen, Oct 2020

We booked this tour for our mom's 80th bday, and Euan managed to capture the attention of 3 generations of our family! We laughed a lot and didn't want it to end. His storytelling was just amazing - and we all agreed we learned more from Euan than we did in any history class. He made Edinburgh - and its remarkable medical history - come alive. We recommend Euan's tour without hesitation! Whether you participate in person or virtually, it's not to be missed.” Deborah, Jan 2021

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This is a fun, trivia and history packed tour of Edinburgh’s medical achievements and contributions over the past 400 years. I took an anaesthesiologist friend who was delighted to see where the world’s first anaesthesia was used but there were so many other historical tidbits - like who Sherlock Holmes was based upon - that brought it to life. Roisin did a great job ” Leslie, Oct 2021
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I had a tour with Roisin on the medical history of Edinburgh and it was really great. I learnt so much about the city and it's unique place in medical history through this tour. Roisin had several nuggets of information and we stopped at some sights that would not be obvious on the normal tourist circuit. She has a storytelling style, the pace of the tour was perfect and the clear weather helped! Overall a great experience to learn about Edinburgh and some of its famous personalities. I highly recommend this tour.” Dharini, Nov 2021

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Euan is a master storyteller with a great depth of knowledge on Edinburgh history. He is also a pleasure to hang out with and very thoughtful about your experience on the tour. This was a perfect introduction to the medical history of Edinburgh but also includes literary, social, and criminal history that adds to the fun. Highly recommend!” Paul, June 2022

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Euan is smart, knowledgeable, funny and engaging. So much great history of the progress of medicine in the city. We are not in the medical field - you don’t need to be to enjoy this experience” Eric, July 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We did the Marvellous Medical Tour with Euan today and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique tour of Edinburgh rather than your standard ‘Old Town’ walking tour. This one of a kind tour covers the fascinating history of medicine in Edinburgh and takes you around some of the less touristy areas of Edinburgh that you likely wouldn’t think to visit on your own. Great fun and fascinating tour!!” Brittany, July 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This is a wonderful tour for anyone, not just those interested in the medical or scientific history of Edinburgh. Euan is so knowledgeable and kept all of us, including our 13 year old, engaged for the full tour. Having done many of these type of tours, I would highly recommend this one. So many obscure, and sometimes gruesome, stories of Edinburgh that left us feeling much better acquainted with the city and its history when we finished.” Tanya, July 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “An excellent walk and I learned so much about the medical history of Edinburgh and so interesting for me as I did my nursing training in Edinburgh” Rose, July 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Euan is an excellent story teller, and took us on a nice route through the city. We learned a lot and had a great time seeing some areas off the beaten path of old town. Highly recommended!” William, Aug 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We did a private tour with Euan and loved it. He provided us with a sense of Edinburgh history through the eyes of public health and medicine. None of us are in the medical profession but that didn’t matter. He was informative, concise and with a touch of humor that worked for adults as well as tween/teens. Highly recommend.” Sarah, Aug 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Wow what a tour, great to see Edinburgh in this perspectief. Even though we were late, Euan waited for is us and still did the full tour. Highly reccomend!!” Nelly, Aug 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “euan was a great historian and story teller” Anuj, Aug 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was a fantastic tour, I highly recommend! Euan has a wealth of knowledge about Edinburgh's history, and is a skilled and engaging storyteller. The tour thoughtfully brought us throughout Edinburgh;s medical past, combining a gorgeous walking tour of the city's architecture with engaging stories of what happened in the buildings. I learned several new things and I have been living in Edinburgh for a while! A great experience for those who want a deeper dive into Edinburgh's history.” Addie, Aug 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Totally recommend! Euan is super charismatic and knowledgeable - has a great sense of humor, which he weaves effortlessly into factual and even thought provoking historical tales. All of the stories in the tour have a moral/ethical backdrop super relevant, IMHO, to the most contemporary socio-political issues of today. Expect a couple of fascinating, history book ignored (by choice) stories about wonderful Edinburgh female figures as well! Couldn't be happier with the tour! Well, actually, I could be happier if Euan offered one or two more history tours of the city ;)” Zofia, Aug 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We did this tour as a family of 3 with our 14 year old daughter. We all highly recommend this tour to anybody. It is possibly one of the best tours we have ever done. It was engaging, informative and we walked away with a more thorough understanding of the city, its history and especially the role the city and the Scottish education and scientific advances originating here have altered medical history and practice and made medicine what it is today. Euan did an amazing job and clearly researched his material and the delivery was fantastic. One of us is medical and the other 2 are not but we agree with other reviewers that it does not matter. In our opinion this tour is a must do in Edinburgh ( we also did a separate castle tour which we tremendously enjoyed and recommend) however this medical tour is a stand apart, unique and cool one. Do not hesitate and just book as you will not regret it. Thank you, Euan. This tour will stick with us for a long time:) ( we would even do it again:))” Peter & Andra, Aug 2022
