      Walking tours in Edinburgh
      Take the road less traveled

      With so much to see, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer scope of things. But on our walking tours in Edinburgh with local insiders, you don’t have to stick to the busy main roads of the iconic Old Town. Think of your host as your GPS and guidebook who can help you uncover secret paths leading to incredible attractions on your Edinburgh walking tours. Stumble across locations off the beaten track, like a 17th-century-style secret garden or a humble café serving melty cheese toasties. We want you to see the sights you didn’t even know existed on walking tours of Edinburgh with us.

      Walking tours in Edinburgh
      Enter the gateway to Scotch whisky

      What would a day in Edinburgh be without sampling a few wee drams of liquid gold? As the so-called “gateway to Scotch whisky”, Edinburgh is the place to be for the finest blends in the country – and you can try them all for yourself on our Edinburgh walking whisky tours. Our whisky-fueled Edinburgh walking tours will take you on a stroll down the length of the Royal Mile, a historic hub of entertainment where you’ll find single malt at its finest. But if your drink of choice is something different, our Edinburgh gin experience might be exactly what you’re looking for.

        Tom was very friendly and informative and has a lot of knowledge of the area. He showed us things we never would have thought of checking out, like Calton Hill, which offers a panoramic view of the city. It was a great way to see Edinburgh and get a feel for where things are. I recommend this tour with a local.

        Gwen asked us to share our interests regarding touring Edinburgh and build our tour around the information we shared. She also gathered information regarding key places for us to consider visiting during our stay and shared those documents with us at the end of our tour. Gwen is warm, friendly and knowledgeable about everything Edinburgh including history, food, special events going on and must sees. We were very fortunate to have her as our guide today. We will always remember her. Kind regards, Jennifer Hart
