A deep dive into the history of the city and how it was shaped throughout the centuries
A full day exploring the reasons behind and the history of the Old Town and the New Town with a full historical context of the evolution of the city.
The context was reinforced through visits to museums and historical landmarks. Great explanations of the political as well as physical influences which guided the choices of the period from a lifestyle perspective was deeply revealing.
Wear a really good pair of shoes or hiking boots and be prepared for any kind of weather as it can change in a minute.
Kieron was a great guide well versed in the art, architecture and politics of the time.

Awesome tour of Edinburgh
Loved this excursion! Our guide, Nicola, was amazing! She has so much knowledge and did a great job taking us around and showing us everything. Having the headphones on was extremely helpful. No way would we have heard everything she said without them. I highly recommend this tour and count yourself lucky if you get Nicola as your guide!

This was a wonderful...
This was a wonderful walking tour and our guide Robbie Digs was very entertaining and informative as we visited all the “spooky” historic sites. He took great notice of all of those in our group making it feel as though we were being escorted around town with a friend. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Great way to see Edinburgh
There are 3 different bus routes, each one traveling to see some different places, so over 2 days, we went on all 3 routes, and we loved it. On 2 of the busses, there was pre-recorded commentary and on one, we had a very interesting and entertaining Scottish man telling us about everything we were seeing. He had some funny stories to tell and really made for an educational ride. We loved the overview of Edinburgh so we knew what we wanted to go back to later and explore.

Highly recommend!
A wonderful tour, covering the highlights of the castle and it's history. Max our tour guide had an incredible depth of knowledge when it came to Scottish history, yet, kept it concise and fun. He allowed space for questions and gave us recommendations for exploring the castle on our own. Highly recommend!

Definitely book!
Stuart was our guide on a rainy day and it was totally worth it! He’s a wealth of knowledge and helped us find areas we would not have found on our own. He also provided us with insight into many of the buildings we had passed by and made it a more meaningful experience!

Great tour with Jess!
We really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it.
Jess was knowledgeable, engaging, and an excellent storyteller. We especially enjoyed her perspective on the role of women in Scottish history, which added depth to the experience and highlighted stories that are often overlooked.
For anyone considering this tour, it's worth noting that it's more standing than walking. The group stops at various locations throughout Old Town while Jess shares the history and stories behind each site.
A fantastic introduction to Edinburgh and one of the highlights of our trip!

Great Mix of History, Dark History, and a Little Spooky
This was a really neat experience. We had already done Mary King's Close which discusses the norm for those working and living in the closes, whereas the vaults were where destitute people lived in secret and darkness. The cemetery was a good visit with some dark history as well. Darren did a good job of sharing history and ghost stories without overselling any paranormal activity. I highly recommend this tour.

Ask for Jame- He made our Day
James, our tour guide, was exceptional. His stories about Edinburgh were all very interesting and told in the most engaging way. My three friends and I (a tough crowd to please) all thought he was one of the best tour guides we’ve had and totally enjoyed our time with him.

Worth the Time
Our guide, Ross, was engaging and knew so many small details that you really wouldn’t have realized, unless you did a deep search on history and we got back to our hotel and did a deep dive on everything he told us, including the small details and it was wonderful! This is what you want in a tour guide, somebody who can project their voice over all the talking and who knows little details and is quite happy to be doing their job!

A Fantastic Way to Discover Edinburgh!
We did the two-hour walking tour in the afternoon, and honestly, we could have kept going for another couple of hours!
We love history and discovering the hidden stories and legends behind a city, and Kieran was the perfect guide for that. He shared lots of fascinating stories about Edinburgh and pointed out things we would never have noticed on our own. His sense of humor made the tour both entertaining and engaging, so we learned a lot while having some laughs along the way.
As Outlander and Harry Potter fans, we also enjoyed hearing about Edinburgh's connections to both worlds, as well as learning about other movies and TV series that were inspired by the city. It made the tour even more interesting for us.
We had a short time in Edinburgh, and this tour was the perfect way to get to know the city beyond simply walking around its beautiful streets. Edinburgh is such a beautiful and magical place, and you can really feel that atmosphere as you explore it. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. Don't hesitate to book it—you won't regret it!

Nice way to experience the scary vaults of Edinburgh
Met the tour guide Diva at the location specified. We were early and so was she. Gave us a little tour of knowledge and history of Edinburgh along the Royal Mile on the way to the vaults.
Only 6 of us on our group so we could all see and hear what was going on.
Vaults are creepy with a few stories to match some interesting torture items to view before entering the vaults.
Nice tour approx 1 hour. Very enjoyable.
Thank you Diva. X
