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 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 Harry Potter, no gimmicks, no costumes, and no ghost stories (well, maybe one...).
My focus is firmly on fact-based explorations, introducing Edinburgh's history 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 four three-route tour options: Tours are only available to book directly via this website - guaranteed to give you the best price, availability, and direct contact with your guide from the moment you book.

Avoid the crowds and support local and independent businesses when you visit Scotland - for a truly authentic Edinburgh tour, choose a knowledgeable and experienced Edinburgh tour guide.
