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.

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

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.
