PRIVATE EDINBURGH WALKING TOURS

Hire a local tour guide for a fully private Edinburgh tour...
From a Royal Mile tour to a stroll through the Georgian-era New Town, there are more things to see in Edinburgh than a guide book could show you...

I only deliver walking tours, and I only offer tours in Edinburgh - I promise no gimmicks, no costumes, no ghost stories (well, maybe one...) and no Harry Potter.

My focus is firmly on fact-based explorations, offering Edinburgh history tours delivered in a fun and informative way!

Book a bespoke private Edinburgh tour, fully customised and tailored to suit you, or one of my four fixed-route options:All tours only available to book directly via this website - guaranteed to give you the best price, availability, and direct contact!
You can also browse my Edinburgh Essentials information directory, with over 50 pages of information, tips and ideas to help you plan your trip and find things to do in Edinburgh before you even arrive. 

So avoid the crowds, ditch the hype and support local and independent businesses when you visit Scotland's capital city - for a truly authentic Edinburgh tour, choose an independent, knowledgeable and experienced Edinburgh tour guide!
