Hello! I'm James, your friendly and knowledgeable host here in beautiful Edinburgh. With a deep love for this fascinating city, I'm excited to share its many layers of history and charm with you. Whether it's strolling through the quirky and stunning architecture, relaxing by the Meadows, or diving into the vibrant theatre scene, there's always something new to discover. I'm particularly passionate about the cultural and arts scene—especially theatre—but you'll also find me exploring galleries and local performances. I know the Old Town and Leith neighborhoods inside out, and I can offer insights into Edinburgh's rich social history along the Royal Mile. Let's uncover the hidden gems and stories of this walkable, green, and ever-intriguing city together! I can't wait to show you around, see you soon.
This was the best experience. Private and customizable. If we wanted to stop it wasn't a problem. We learned a lot.

From the moment that we met with James throughout the four hours that we spent him, we could see his love for Scotland, his vast knowledge about the country’s ‘history and his willingness to share that with us. Out day was quite enlightening and a lot of fun I would highly recommend James to anybody who wants to spend a glorious day learning about what Scotland has to offer
