Edinburgh Tours in a Taxi

Taxi Driver and Local Tour Guide

Hi, I’m Danny — originally from South London, but now proudly based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I first discovered this incredible city during my ten years travelling the UK as a musical instrument sales rep, and Edinburgh was always my favourite stop - full of character, history and warmth. My wife, Zsofia from Hungary, and I moved here over 23 years ago, seeking a slower, more relaxed lifestyle compared to London. What started as a one-year plan has become a lifelong love affair — we’ve never looked back! During my 20 years as a local Edinburgh taxi driver, passengers often asked about the city’s landmarks, stories, and hidden gems. I found myself sharing tales of Edinburgh’s history, castles, and culture, and realised I wanted visitors to truly get this city — not just see it, but feel it. That’s how Edinburgh Tours In A Taxi began: to help people discover the real Scotland, from Edinburgh’s cobbled streets and ancient architecture to the stunning Highlands, Loch Ness, and beyond!
