Charlotte’s historical account was entertaining and informative

Venkata_M, Dec 2025

We are a family with multiple age groups and Charlotte’s anecdotes of Edinburgh history kept everyone engaged throughout the tour. She kept it light while telling us about things that had happened hundreds of years ago!

Charlotte was very...

Dan_C, Sep 2025

Charlotte was very knowledgeable and passionate about Edinburgh! Very informative tour. Smaller size tour was also enjoyable.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Dan Thank you so much for your review. I appreciate every single one. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your tour. Walk The Old Town specializes in smaller group tours which provides the visitor with a more intimate experience, seeing Edinburgh through the eyes of a local and going places you would ordinarily have missed were you in a larger group. Nothing wrong with larger groups, it's just that often in larger groups the quality of a tour may diminish due to the size, and navigation can get tricky. Thank you so much for your feedback, wishing you a lovely day and safe travels. Best wishes Charlotte

Fantastic!

Michelle_K, Mar 2025

This is a “must-do” tour! Our guide was dressed the part, she was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and a great storyteller. It was over before we knew it because she kept us in rapt attention! It was a great tour and well worth the small fee of it!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Outstanding tour guide.

Donna_M, Jan 2025

Charlotte our tour guide was beyond amazing. She was so knowledgeable and charismatic, with stories that brought the Old Town to life. She answered all of our extensive questions and included the kids. My kids were raving about how good it was and are still discussing the stories. The tour covered all of the important parts and She advised us on what else to see while here.

Excellent Old Town tour

Stewart_M, Nov 2023

Most enjoyable tour round Old Town Edinburgh greatly helped by very experienced and knowledgeable guide, Charlotte. How does she remember all the dates and stories. Having visited Edinburgh twice in 2022 I knew most of the sites but the stories she brought to life were amazing. Being the only guest on this tour was a bonus I was not expecting. Congratulation to Charlotte for an excellent 1.5 hour tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Visitor Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I had a fantastic time, showing you around. Regarding remembering the dates, I guess that comes with experience. I am so glad you enjoyed this tour and that you had fun. Wishing you all the best in your future travels and best wishes for 2024! Kind regards Charlotte

Edinburgh City Tour in Small Group

Susanne_P, Aug 2025

The guided tour with Scarlet was an enriching experience overall. Technically, she has impressive knowledge. However, the story occupied a rather dominant place at the beginning – we spent the first half hour giving a detailed talk in a single place. That was informative, but we would have liked a little more exercise. Later on, she told exciting, sometimes somewhat debauched, but very pictorial and vivid stories. You could tell she was passionate about this. The route took us to interesting and partly hidden places that we probably would not have discovered on our own.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Susanne Thank you so much for your feedback. It means a lot and I value your input. I have taken your suggestions on board and will endeavour to make the tour even better. It was lovely to meet you all and I wish you safe travels. Warm regards Charlotte

Super leuke tour!

Shron_B, Oct 2024

Het was een hele interessante en toffe ervaring! De gids is super lief, vertelt enthousiast en geeft goede aanbevelingen van gebouwen en musea om zelf te ontdekken. Ik vond het leuk dat ze ook wat meer lokale verhalen vertelden en ze liet kleine dingen zien die je normaal misschien over het hoofd ziet. Super leuk en raad het zeker aan!
