Hi, My name is Tom and I'm an Edinburgh local, born and bred within the city. I am fascinated by history and politics, especially concerning the city itself. I am currently studying politics at the University of Edinburgh and have also been working as a tour guide within Edinburgh Castle but have recently left. I love to meet and inform visitors to Edinburgh about the history and culture around them.

Despite the rain, I was lucky enough to have a very, very nice walk. Lots of very, very interesting information. A suitable walking pace to see everything. My host was very very interesting in his speech about what was to see.

Tom was flexible, informative and fun! It was a great way to walk the city, learn some history and discuss current city trends and things to do. Suggest doing this tour early in your visit as you will definitely identify places to return to for a longer look. Tom is a gem of a tour guide!!

We had a wonderful walk around the city with Tom, he did a great job. Tom was knowledgeable and friendly, and we enjoyed his trip thoroughly. It was fun to compare ghost tales we had heard.

Tom was an excellent guide with many stories to match current location. Be prepared for over 5 miles of exciting interpretation.
