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.

If you are a gin lover, this is the tour for you and if you are really lucky you will get James as your guide. Once he found out where we were staying he adjusted to meet us at our hotel. We visited 3 great gin pubs and gained so much knowledge about how gin is made, the different blends, why it came to be in Scotland, and also learned a lot of Scottish history and culture along the way. This is a must do tour!!!!
