As you stroll through Edinburgh’s historic heart, your guide will share fascinating stories that bring the city to life, from royal traditions and architectural masterpieces to everyday moments of Scottish living.
You may find yourself admiring the grandeur of Edinburgh Castle, pausing in the serene Princes Street Gardens, passing the majestic Royal Mile, or exploring the hidden alleys and charming closes of the Old Town.

Tucked-away courtyards, quiet alleyways, and lesser-known corners will also enrich the experience.

What To Keep In Mind
Our private tours take place in all weather conditions, so we kindly recommend dressing appropriately for both comfort and style. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, and it’s always wise to bring a raincoat as Edinburgh’s weather can change unexpectedly, offering sunshine one moment and rain or wind the next. During the winter months, please be sure to dress warmly, as temperatures can dip.
If your hotel is in the city centre, we can also arrange our meeting point in your lobby. Please make sure you leave a comment and the name/address of the hotel when you make the booking, and we will confirm if the hotel meeting is available.
Please note that our standard tours do not include museum visits.
However, if you’re seeking a more exclusive or tailored experience, we’d be delighted to create a private tour designed just for you. Whether you’d like to include museum visits, iconic landmarks, hidden gems, or a stop for fine dining, we’ll shape the experience around your tastes and preferences.
For an even more refined experience, we can also arrange premium services such as chauffeured transport, behind-the-scenes access, private tastings, or curated visits to design studios, galleries, or cultural institutions.
Get in touch, and we’ll begin crafting a bespoke itinerary designed to make your time in Edinburgh effortless, luxurious, and unforgettable.
