Kickstart your trip to Edinburgh

I booked a walking tour of Edinburgh hoping to see a few places I had heard shouldn’t be missed and perhaps learn a few interesting facts. I met my guide Doug at the arranged place and we began our tour. As we walked and chatted, Doug told me about the city, its history, and background on the buildings. He asked me questions about my interests to be sure he was providing the experience that was of the most interest to me. Doug had quite a comprehensive knowledge of the area and places of note. He paid a lot of attention to my responses, and then tailored his information to what he saw I was most intrigued by. He also allowed me as much or as little time as I wanted to take photos, ask questions, or just marvel at the impressive sites. What started as a “tourist walk” quickly felt like two friends walking through the city and chatting about the beautiful sites, the history, the architecture, the sports, and anything else that came to mind. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our time together and sincerely appreciated the effort and warmth Doug put into ensuring I received an exceptional experience. I am so glad I booked this tour and also quite grateful I had Doug as my guide! The next time I am in Edinburgh I would definitely book this again, as well as request Doug as my guide. I ended the tour absolutely in love with Edinburgh and everything it has to offer.

Good introduction to Edinburgh. Informative guide and a good pace.

Excellent tour, walk was beautiful.. highly recommended Stuart covered a lot of areas. Good opportunity for pictures.

Doug was amazing! He met us at our hotel which was really nice and we set off on several hours of an education on all things Edinburgh! It was so enjoyable and Doug was a wealth of knowledge. It was the perfect pace for us having just gotten off the plane from an overseas flight. We learned so much and saw all of the things that we wanted to see. Doug helped us orient ourselves in the city and even helped us get our tickets situated at the Edinburgh Castle where we parted ways. I highly recommend Doug as a local tour guide. Thanks Doug!

Outstanding, informative, and fun! Well worth the cost. She kept us off the beaten path with was perfect!! Thanks again.

James was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable about the old city. Shared lots of historic information which was very interesting.
