Private guide in Edinburgh: the Riverside Walk walk

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.

A real highlight

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.

Excellent

Great value for what you get. The small group size made a real difference. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.

Better than expected

Booked last minute and it still went perfectly. Confirmation was instant and the instructions were clear. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Highly recommend

A highlight of the trip. I have already recommended it to two friends who are visiting next month. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.
