I am a Tour guide
Jen may sound like she has just stepped out of Downton Abbey, but she can't help that. Nor can she help her love of history and of Edinburgh. She also can't help having a fun sense of homour and a wide array of amusing and bemusing anecdotes that bring the city's past and present to life. But she can help you get the most out of your stay in Edinburgh. There is no better way to see this stunning city than with a professional guide, a semi-professional mediaeval reenactor, and a self confessed geek. Jen will show you the main sites and the hidden gems, the untold past and the grand monuments. Whatever you want, Jen can tailor it for you. Jen also gives really good hugs.
