Hello! My name is Gareth, and I will be leading your private Edinburgh walking tour.
I've lived and worked in Edinburgh since coming here in 1998 for university, and consider myself to be a passionate and knowledgeable ambassador for the city.
There is far more to Edinburgh than a guidebook could ever tell you. The best way to really discover the city is to see it through the eyes of a local - and because I deliver all my tours myself, you can be confident of a truly personalised tour experience, tailored to you! I really take your tour personally... :) |
My Edinburgh walking tours will show you places off the beaten track, and give you a unique experience of Edinburgh, different from that of the over 4 million tourists who visit the city every year.
After training as a tour guide with Edinburgh Bus Tours, the city's premier bus tour operator, I worked at Edinburgh Castle before establishing my own tour company. |
I set up Edinburgh Expert Walking Tours in 2014 to specialise in small group, private and customised Edinburgh tours - an alternative to the large tour companies providing ghost tours or 'free' tours, to offer instead a more personal, informative tour experience to give visitors a memorable introduction to Edinburgh.
Let me show you the city in a way that suits you! |

I've received the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice award (previously the Certificate of Excellence), based on visitor reviews and feedback, for seven consecutive years, since 2017.
As an independent local tour guide I offer gimmick-free, fact-based tours, combined with honest opinion to tell you which attractions are worth the entrance fee, and where you can get more than you bargained for with just a little bit of inside information.
