Hey there, I'm Colin - your friendly local host in Edinburgh! I'm a curious and easygoing guy who loves to explore new places and meet new people. What I really adore about Edinburgh is its rich history and stunning architecture, as well as its gorgeous natural surroundings - I could spend hours wandering through the parks and hills! When I'm not out and about, I enjoy sipping on some delicious whisky and discovering hidden gems throughout the city. As an expert in the West side and Central Edinburgh neighborhoods, I love sharing my knowledge of the area, especially when it comes to the fascinating history of the upper water of Leith and the best parks and outdoor spots to check out. Let's explore Edinburgh together!

My reviews

    Colin was exactly what our adventures needed. We meshed right in with the Edinburgh culture and we had a grand time! My mom sometimes needs a wheelchair because she can get a bit winded and he made all of it so easy for us. I highly recommend him if you enjoy stories and culture and knowledge and history, he is your man. Plus he showed up and kilt and made my day!!!

    Our tour guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of the area and he showed us and educated us about the area. The kilt was a nice touch. Definitely would recommend this private tour. It does include alot of walking.

    Absolutely loved Edinburgh. All of our guides were marvelous. Such a warm, inviting city even in Winter! We had the pleasure of a guided walking tour around Edinburgh that gave us a fantastic overview of the city. We will be coming back soon!
