The Totally Tailored experience can’t be beat by any other of those mass tour group companies because you get individualized attention with Totally Tailored. We were able to tailor the tour to see things we wanted to see instead of just a pre-designed itinerary. We were given a general one and we added and removed what we wanted. That way we were engaged in everything that we saw and did there. I also enjoyed the personal touch of just getting to know a person who lives in Scotland and understanding the world and the life a little bit better.

Top draw tour! Alan was great! He showed us all the main sites in one day including an amazing whisky place. Like having a friend for the day.
Charley was so good with all the planning. Austin and George were so wonderful to Mom and to me. Totally Tailored Scotland helped us make wonderful memories and I recommend them highly if you want a custom experience totally tailored to your needs.
Our guide, Charley was great, really lively and had the balance just right between historical facts and interesting tidbits. She could also be really funny, which helps! It definitely didn’t feel like she had just learned everything off from a script, which is my experience of a few other tours went! Me and my mate asked her loads of questions about what stuff we could do in Edinburgh, where we could eat and what we could do at night and she was happy to answer it all, in a friendly, chatty manner. I’d recommend this to anyone who is starting their visit of Edinburgh or who doesn’t have that much time to explore the city and wants to pack in as much as possible.

THOUSANDS OF MEMORIES MADE, AND COUNTING
Today London saw the state opening of Parliament - a 500 year old ceremony which marks the formal start of the parliamentary year. This year Prince Charles carried out the ceremony, reading a speech on behalf of his mother.
Totally Tailored guide Rob was hosting a 'Best of London' tour for the lovely Huttenlocher family (pictured) and managed to get them in prime position to witness this annual event.
Here's what Mom, Julie had to say:
'Oh my goodness….what an absolutely amazing day we had today. I cannot even begin to tell you how much we appreciated everything. Rob was just spectacular. He was full of so much information… my kids cannot stop talking about how much they liked the tour! Thank you!…we are still in awe that we were able to see Charles and William. Olivia was super excited because she got to see the crown in its own car! Super exciting!'
Yesterday #Trafalgarsquare was buzzing with over 6,000 plants and trees as part of @innocent drinks #rewild project.
While the sustainability credentials of this one-day event have been questioned, there's no doubt it reminds us of how the city and nature can mix beautifully.
Did you know the Queen has two birthdays? Today marks HRH Queen Elizabeth II's personal birthday, that is when she was born. Her official birthday will be celebrated in June (with big public ceremonies like the Trooping of the Colour).
The Queen is celebrating her 'personal' 96th birthday today at Prince Phillip’s former home, Wood Farm in Sandringham with friends and family and to be closer to the late prince.
Enjoy these beautiful, timeless, and iconic photographs of the Queen through the years. 🇬🇧🎈

The Power family having just finished their hour in the British Museum with their guide Nicoletta.
They pose here with the 'Waddeson Bequest' - a collection of gold objects and antiquities donated by one of Britain's richest men (Ferdinand de Rothschild MP) in 1898.
Whistlejacket (1762) by George Stubbs is one of the most striking oil paintings in London's @nationalgallery.
The British painter presents the second Marquess of Rockingham's prize racehorse in life-size and rearing on a plain pale gold background.
There is no reference to a rider - no bridle, stable or rider so we are forced to focus on the wild energy of the Arabian stallion, in it's purest form.
When you visit the National Gallery you'll see this picture forms the end of one of their longest 'terminating vistas' that is it can be seen from a great distance through the long 19th century purpose-built gallery.
Enjoy thrifting and don’t know where to go in London? Our intern Molly has compiled a list of some of the best areas and shops to hit when in London. Check out the link in our bio for her “Thrifting in London” blog post!
Did you know you can climb the upper walkways of London's #towerbridge and get a bird's eye view of buses, pedestrians and cyclists through the glass floor beneath you?
Great exhibit for kids and adults alike.

Happy Valentine's day from @spitalfieldse1
This lovely lurcher was spotted today on Brushfield Street.
She is held by 'Maktao', a bronze sculpture by Gillie and Marc as part of a series of 21 life-size publicly displayed pieces called 'the Orphans'. All of the elephants including Maktao are based on real animals who are at risk from ivory poaching and deforestation.

Before leaving for the night, our guest Lilly had to run back to Highclere Castle for one last picture.
The current Highclere Castle was rebuilt in 1679 and purchase by Sir Robert Sawyer. During the first World War Highclere became a hospital to help the wounded soldiers and was run by the 5th Countess of Carnarvon. In World War II, Highclere was used as a home for evacuated children from London.
We are arranging privately chauffeured excursions to Highclere where you and your loved ones can experience this Downton Abbey superstar.
Just email requests@totallytailored.com before it sells out.
Burns Night is a celebration of Scotland's most famous poet, Robert Burns and take place tonight.
