Tripadvisor review
From a Royal Mile walking tour to a stroll through the Georgian-era New Town, there are more things to do in Edinburgh than a guidebook can tell you...

See Scotland's capital city through the eyes of a local, for an authentic insider's guide to this unique UNESCO World Heritage Site.

​I only deliver walking tours, I only offer tours of Edinburgh, and I promise no gimmicks, no costumes, no ghost stories (well, maybe one!) and definitely no Harry Potter...

My focus is firmly on fact-based explorations, delivering Edinburgh history tours in a fun and informative way...
​Book a fully customised tour of Edinburgh tailored to suit you, to spend from two hours up to a full-day exploring the city, or choose one of my fixed-route tour options: Or purchase a gift card to give to a friend or redeem against a future date...

​Tours are only available to book directly via this website - guaranteed to give you the best price and availability. 

​Support local and independent businesses when you visit Scotland - for a truly authentic tour of Edinburgh, choose a knowledgeable and experienced Edinburgh tour guide.
