Edinburgh Free Walking Tour

I had a wonderful experience with our guide, Claudia. She was incredibly nice, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the city and its history. What made the tour especially memorable was her enthusiasm - you could really see how much she enjoys her work, and that energy made the whole experience even more engaging. Claudia didn’t just show us the main sights. She also took us to several hidden corners and pointed out small details that we would never have noticed on our own. She explained the stories behind the buildings, shared interesting historical facts, and kept the group entertained the entire time. One of the fun surprises was that she brought a can of the famous Scottish soft drink Irn-Bru and let us try it, which was such a nice and thoughtful local touch. Overall, it was a warm, friendly, and very enjoyable experience. If you’re visiting Edinburgh, I would highly recommend taking this tour with Claudia - you’ll learn a lot, see hidden spots, and have a great time exploring the city with someone who truly loves sharing its story.

Sarah was an incredible tour guide! She was a great storyteller and was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Edinburgh. You could tell from the way she spoke about Edinburgh that she truly loves this city. I learned so much in the two hours she took us around Old Town. And Pacino was the sweetest companion! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Absolutely incredible! A must do whilst in Edinburgh. I learnt so much and laughed a lot!

Calum and Rowie were magnificent! One of the best free tours we’ve done. Super entertaining, lots of stories and history about the city of Edinburgh. Thank you Calum and Rowie (great-great-great-great-great-great grand daughter of Greyfriars Bobby)! Best, Patricias (mother and daughter from Canary Islands)

We enjoyed learning about the darkest side of Edinburgh from Stuart.

Melanie was great. A real ray of sunshine and great guide overall! Would recommend this tour 😊

Jen was a great guide full of stories and anecdotes ! Thx so much, we learned a lot

Outstanding tour from Alastair…full of information, fun stories and some clever techniques for pulling the group together. Nothing but 5 stars from me here

Great tour!

The best storyteller ever! Thanks for making the first Edinburgh experience awesome

Alasdair was an incredible guide on my free walking tour in Edinburgh. He knows the city inside out, is funny and easy to listen to - it felt like walking around with a friend. Without a doubt the best guide in Edinburgh!

Even as a Scot I found it incredibly interesting and influential. Joe had the perfect measure of history,storytelling and wit. Highly recommend using this experience to fill a coupon hours. Can’t imagine anyone not getting a lot from it

Stuart was a great guide and the tour was interesting and informative.

Sylvia was great. Really enjoyed my tour.

I enjoyed this tour. It was a good mix of some facts and stories. I knew the story of Burke and Hare but Stuart brought it to life and it was really quite unsettling (in good way). I would recommend.

I spent a bit over 1 hour with Stuart and learned quite interesting facts about Edinburgh. Thanks

Calum was absolutely fantastic! Rawie is also the star of the tour, enhances the experience for sure! Learned a lot of fun and interesting stories and calum was always very nice in explaining everything. I recommend this tour to everyone!

I was really very surprised by Joe's spectacular historical education and so were the rest of the group to the point that I suggested him changing the title of his tour to reflect the knowledge and passion he has for Edinburgh and the ability he has to accompany people through a journey in time. I was happy to see that despite us being initially a really small group, he was happy to give us a tour (not all guide do) until another couple joined later. I visit Edinburgh twice a year but I have a completely different look of the town now and I will always remember the tips amd hindsight that Joe generously shared with us. It was a top tour!!

Claudia was absolutely amazing and kind! She is an incredible guide who keeps you entertained with fascinating city stories and interesting gems stories. She’s such a fantastic storyteller and made the city’s history come alive really!! She kept us engaged from start to finish. We highly recommend her tours! Thank you Claudia for the Irn-Bru and your tour! :)

Callum our tour guide and his little Yorkie were fantastic! Unfortunately, we had to leave early towards the end due to a train reservation that could not be changed. We enjoyed everything about this tour!

Calum was out tour guide and he was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and felt like we learned a lot. It is clear that Calum is a great story teller and is passionate about the history of Scotland. Would definitely recommend this tour to others. The cute dog - Rowie was a nice bonus!

Full of interesting stories, he was very interesting to listen to, entertaining. You should choose this guide for sure

This was a fantastic, compact tour which was fascinating and really informative, packed with local stories, and useful tidbits and recommendations. Would suggest you book Joe now!

Alasdair has a knack for storytelling and connecting with people! We started a small group of strangers and 2 hours later, we were like friends. He gave us great recommendations, nice stories and interesting facts about his hometown. Alasdair's walking tour is one you will enjoy and remember for a long time! Thanks for such a wonderful moment!

Sarah was awesome, so funny and charasmatic! I learned so much about the history of Edinburgh
