Edinburgh Walks offer unique small group private guided walks through parts of this UNESCO World Heritage city of Edinburgh.

With local knowledge to the fore, you can customise your tour to your own requirements. You are in charge.

Discover the real Edinburgh in a friendly, relaxed and informative way. You will experience breathtaking views of Edinburgh and learn about the history of the surrounding area. Each of the walks around Edinburgh will take you to places of interest and beauty that tour buses cannot reach, allowing plenty of opportunities to stop, shop, rest and take photographs.
