Hi, I’m Gwen, your local host in the beautiful and historic city of Edinburgh! I’m passionate about this city’s rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning green spaces. From the cobbled streets of the Old Town to the elegant avenues of the New Town, I love uncovering the stories and hidden gems that make Edinburgh so special. You’ll often find me exploring the leafy parks and gardens, enjoying a coffee with friends in Bruntsfield or Morningside, or catching a film at one of Edinburgh’s charming cinemas. I know the best spots for a cozy lunch, a scenic walk, or a quiet escape from the city buzz. With me, you’ll get a local’s perspective on everything from historical landmarks to off-the-beaten-path treasures. I’m here to make your visit to Edinburgh unforgettable. Let’s wander, explore, and discover the magic of this incredible city together!
Gwen is a great Host!!

Gwen was the best and on the trip we learned about all of the specialized tours she does as well. My wife and I would highly recommend Gwen to host the variety of tours she offers.
