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 three fixed-route options...
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!
