Donald was a wonderful guide - so knowledgeable and shared great stories of the history and culture of Edinburgh. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour!
Jill is an exceptional guide and a true professional. Our private walking tour in Edinburgh was seamless from start to finish thanks to her thoughtful preparation and deep knowledge of the city. She reached out days in advance with clear, helpful instructions, and tailored the entire experience to our interests and pace. Jill anticipates what you need before you even think to ask, and her competence and warmth make the tour both effortless and enriching. If you are fortunate enough to be paired with Jill, don’t hesitate — you’re in for an outstanding experience.
This was such a fun interactive tour. It was absolutely a tour with a local’s knowledge and inside information. Worth the money!
This was a fun and refreshing tour of Edinburgh. We were excited to hear about the sites from a local’s perspective and not just regurgitation of every guide book. Our guide had inside tips on how to get the best deals and information beyond just a wealth of local spots but on local trends, the local teams, the upcoming festivals, why there we cones on all the statues, etc. Our guide offered perspective of change also—what we would have seen mere years ago as well as centuries ago. He clearly loves this area and sold us on a return trip to go beyond Edinburgh.
Our hosts bring destinations to life, sharing local stories and crafting your perfect experience.
I love this city for its fascinating history, museums, galleries, open spaces, and sports scene. As a cinema enthusiast, I can recommend the best theaters and give great insights into the Edinburgh International Film Festival. I also have experience working with the Edinburgh Fringe performance venues and can provide insider tips on the best shows to catch. I enjoy walking, reading, and visiting the city's botanic garden in my free time. I look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh and sharing my love of this amazing city with you.
