      From cliffside castles and whisky distilleries to all-night entertainment and astounding natural beauty, exploring the world-famous attractions in Scotland’s hilly capital is easy – but uncovering all the best-kept secrets in this compact cityscape (of which there are several) is only possible on private guided tours in Edinburgh.

      Edinburgh private tours
      More than the top 10 sights

      Because the city’s tourist trail spans so many miles of world-renowned attractions, Edinburgh private tours can easily get you caught in a tourist trap before you even realize it. But take the paths less traveled – the ones your guidebook doesn’t even know about – and private walking tours of Edinburgh reveal a city with unequaled charm and charisma. We won’t make you miss out on any of the must-sees on your bucket list, but we’ll be sure to show you some of the hidden haunts and lesser-known landmarks loved by your local host on Edinburgh private tours you won’t soon forget.

      Latest reviews from our guests

        Our tour guide, Fedor, was extremely knowledgeable of Edinburgh history and attractions. He tailored our tour in a way that ensured that he did not cover information that we already knew or would know due to scheduled bookings with other tour companies. We were initially concerned that an eight-hour tour was too much time, but with Fedor as our guide, the day went by very quickly. We would highly recommend Fedor to anybody interested in a private tour of Edinburgh.

        James was the perfect guide, like having a friend show you around their hometown. As I had requested, we avoided all of the crowded tourist areas and instead walked the interesting and lovely corners of the city only locals would know. It was perfect

        We had a great time on this exclusive Edinburgh City Tour! Our guide, Gwen, was very knowledgeable, we learnt a lot about the city’s history and its hidden gems and treasures. I feel that we gained a whole new appreciation for the city. I would absolutely recommend this tour, and Gwen as a tour guide to anyone.
