Mountebank Scotland

Daniel’s walking tour was truly excellent and a great choice of a walking tour. He has an amazing knowledge of Scotland’s history and Edinburgh in general, and delivered so much interesting information in a fun and engaging way. Couldn’t recommend this comedy walking tour highly enough! We’ve been talking about it ever since and if you don’t do this tour, you’ve missed out big time. You’ll also need to do the tour to find out just what Daniel is demonstrating here… 🤣

I’ve done a multitude of walking tours around the world so when I saw the option for a comedic tour in place of a “normal one” I was slightly apprehensive. “Would we feel pressure to laugh at everything for 2 hours straight?” I thought to myself. But we chanced it and now I can say it’s by far the most memorable walking tour I’ve ever done. Not only is Daniel a whip smart historian, his witty crowd work and ability to remember bits and bobs about everyone on the tour and crack jokes was really endearing and kept everyone engaged through a dense amount of historical anecdotes about Scottish History and points of interest around Edinburgh. In addition, Daniel has an adorable doggie Bran who was a treat to have along for the walk 🥰

What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Edinburgh! Daniel was an outstanding guide, giving all the info you could ask for and mixing in hilarious banter. Thoroughly enjoyed the time!

Daniel was entirely engaging, knowledgeable, entertaining, and passionate. He elicited a good balance of elucidation and group participation. We had a lot of laughs and learned new information about all things whiskey. Ten out of ten recommend.

We had an amazing time on the tour thanks to our guide Daniel. His extensive knowledge of Scottish history combined with his style of comedy was top notch and we would recommend booking this tour to anyone visiting Edinburgh. And all the claps for his lovely dog Bran!

Daniel is so much more than a comedian who gives tours. He is a brilliant historian, colorful story teller, and true lover of his Scottish heritage. We had an amazing time on his walking tour yesterday and just signed up for his whiskey tasting today. If you go to Edinburgh, this is an absolute must do!

Excellent tour! We had a lot of fun! We highly recommend it! Daniel was hilarious, witty and very knowledgeable. He was also very good at engaging and including everyone from the group. It was a great way of exploring the city and learning about the history of Scotland. We laughed so much that we didn’t see the time go by. Also, his dog Brahan is adorable and you get to pet him!

Daniel was an exceptional guide on our Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh. Funny, irreverent, and entertaining. He infused his unique style of humor with historically accurate information. I really appreciated his efforts to learn everyone’s names and cities and include us in his story telling as we moved along. Highly recommend Daniel for your next visit to Edinburgh!
