Meeting you at your city centre hotel, we will take you on a private walking tour around Edinburgh with a local and dedicated guide. Not only will you see all the big tourist sights but we will also show you many less known locations.  Along the way you will get to know much more about the history of our beautiful city and some of the people who have made it their home over the last 1500 years.

The perfect tour to see 'everything' if you're only here for a day or two or for your first day of a longer stay to help plan out the rest of your trip.

Additional info

  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
  • We have earmarked this tour as especially safe during the Coronavirus outbreak due to generally quiet places that we visit where social distancing is generally not a problem. All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide.  To make it easier and sarer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point.  This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport. Please feel free to wear masks throughout or at times during the tour.  Your guide will also have a mask with them.
