Barney N.

Hi, I'm Barney. I have 14 years of experience guiding guests around Scotland, taking day tours out of Edinburgh. Whether I take people on scenic tours, or to historical sites like castles, or whisky tasting, I'm reminded every day that I really do have the best job in the world, in my favourite country in the world, and I'd like to share that with you. I was born in Edinburgh, and graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2008 with a history degree, so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Scottish history. But I also consider myself a storyteller, and my main job is to entertain you, so please don't feel that you're going to get dry lectures on history and culture. You don't need to remember a single thing I tell you, so long as you enjoy yourself. Also, please don't feel constrained by the standard tours I offer. I have many years of guiding experience, so if there's something you want to see that's not listed, just send me a message through Go With Guide and ask me to create a personalised itinerary just for you, which I'm always happy to do. Professional Qualifications/Memberships: - MA (Hons) History from University of Edinburgh - PGDE(S) from University of Strathclyde - Membership of SITOA (Scottish Independent Tour Operators Association)

I have been a tour guide in Edinburgh Area for many years. The highlight of Edinburgh is Edinburgh Castle and I am trained and authorized to tour in the Castle. My tours aim to educate, amuse and entertain. Tour with me to Stirling Castle or to St Andrews or learn about Harry Potter and Edinburgh where most of the story’s were written.

Born in Milan, I spent my adult life in Edinburgh where I moved in 2009. This wonderful city stole my heart and here I am! Throughout this period I had the chance to get to know the city and dive in its history, culture and traditions. I hold a PhD and a Masters degree in History of Art from the University of Edinburgh. I have been working as a tour guide in Edinburgh since 2015. My academic background, teaching experience and passion for history, motivate me to create interesting tour outlines and narratives. I enjoy bringing the stories behind monuments and streets to life! Having worked in the Education Department of local art galleries, I also love to create activities for families and younger audiences. I am a foodie and always looking for the best eating spots in town! I'd be happy to give you insider's tips and recommend off-the-beaten path restaurants, cafes, bars and food markets. I am also an avid reader, I enjoy Scotland crime novels among other genres - nothing better than a Tartan Noir story! Despite my reluctance to sit on planes, I love travelling. Guiding clients from all over the world is one of the highlights of my job: it is so enriching to meet people from different countries and share experiences. Having travelled widely makes me sensible to visitors' needs and I realise the importance of meeting expectations. For this reason, all my tours can be customised. I would love to hear from you and create your unique and personalised itinerary!

I am a fully qualified guide and a member of the Scottish Tourist Guides Association. It will be my pleasure to take you to the most iconic corners of Scotland and to show you its hidden jams. I would love to tell you about Scotland's beautiful nature, its ancient history, and its remarkable people. Legends and true stories, latest news and local rumors - I love storytelling. And I love good food! Freshest local products along with sophisticated high-end cuisine are already a good reason to visit Scotland. A world traveler myself, I know what it is to be a guest to a foreign country and I would like to help you to make the best of your visit to Scotland and make it an excellent and memorable experience.
