Overview

Many travelers skim the surface of UNESCO-listed Edinburgh, overlooking some of its best bits. On this private walk, you’ll go beyond the tourist trails with a guide who lives in Scotland’s capital. Trace the Water of Leith, roam the Royal Botanic Garden and other gems; and feel free to adjust your itinerary if you wish. Flexible start times and pickup on foot from your city center accommodation or a handy meeting point are included.
  • Discover the real Edinburgh on a private walking tour with a local
  • Skip the beaten track: find green spaces and secret spots missed by tourists
