A day in Edinburgh with a private guide

A private guide who knows Edinburgh properly — a medieval Old Town on an extinct volcano, with the Highlands beyond. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience

Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Edinburgh for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Superb

The photos do not do it justice. We spent far longer here than we planned to. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.

Would book again

Everything was well organised. The meeting point was easy to find and we started exactly on time. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Superb

Booked this for our anniversary and it exceeded expectations. Would do it again without hesitation. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.

Better than expected

Our guide was excellent — patient with the children and full of stories we would never have found ourselves. The children loved it, which is the real test.
