Hey there, lovely folks! I'm Jen, your friendly neighborhood host and an avid explorer of all things quirky and historical in this magnificent city. What do I love most about this place is it's the rich history, the vibrant diversity, and the fact that this city welcomes everyone with open arms. It's like a big Scottish bear hug, only with more kilts and bagpipes. Museums are my second home. From the Stone Age to the Renaissance, I'm always on a quest of discovery. When it comes to Edinburgh's past, I am your go-to gal. I've got the inside scoop on the city's history and the wider wonders of Scotland. So, if you're ready for an adventure join me on a journey through this marvelous city. Let's create memories that will make your Instagram followers cheeks ache from smiling. We're about to conquer Edinburgh one cobblestone at a time!

Fabulous tour and will definitely book Jen again when I return to Edinburgh. I had a tween and a toddler in a pushchair. Jen planned an itinerary which was pushchair accessible and that kept my tween fascinated. She has gone back to school full of information on Edinburghs history and culture. I also learnt lots and more importantly we all had fun. Jen is lovely and my toddler loved her (she doesn’t like anyone so that’s the highest recommendation you can get) If you are pondering over whether it is worth the money, it is! Book now and you will not regret it
