What travelers think of our Edinburgh experiences
What you’ll do
Welcome to auld (old!) Edinburgh, where you’ll spend the better part of a day following your Edinburgh host through the quirky, cranky, swanky, antique streets of this utterly charming Scottish city.
But hush now, because they’ll be taking you on an experience off the tourist trail and sharing some local secrets - we won’t tell if you don’t.
Whether you’d like to visit a pub that comes with its own four-legged guardian, explore fascinating bookstores, uncover the oldest nooks in the most ancient of neighborhoods, or simply stroll through one of the parks that boast the brisk beauty of the highlands - the day is yours to dictate!
Unfortunately, you can’t dictate the weather in Scotland - it’s a tricky little sucker. But no matter. Wrap up in your warmest plaid and venture boldly forth.
Edinburgh is full of folklore and traditions that date back to its pagan roots.
Discover poetry on the pavements and inspire hearty laughs from the locals. We just ken you’ll have a wonderful time!
