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 five 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, 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 tour of Edinburgh, choose a knowledgeable and experienced Edinburgh tour guide.
