Why choose this Edinburgh tour ?

Escape the overcrowded Royal Mile and enjoy an intimate, personal tour of Edinburgh’s hidden gems with a friendly local guide!

On this relaxed walking tour you’ll encounter the best of Edinburgh – an historic neighbourhood (Dean Village) with architecture dating back to the 1600’s, historic monuments, quirky local cafes, quaint hidden alleyways and streets and you’ll walk along the city’s only river. There might even be a waterfall and if you are really lucky, you might even see local otters, right in the middle of the city!

Book this tour if you want to get away from the tourist crowds and experience something a bit more “local”. Perfect for anyone who’s seen the Old Town.

What makes Edinburgh: Dean Village Circus Lane Walking Tour with a Local a unique experience ?

A stunningly pretty former mill village located in Dean Vally by the fast flowing Water of Leith. See 17th century buildings as well as potentially wildlife including herons and otters. A taste of the Highlands only ten minutes walk from Princes Street!

Explore the not so New Town of Edinburgh- it was originally built in the 1770s! The neighbourhood’s design revolutionised the way cities were laid. See the former home of one of Scotland’s greatest writers and marvel at the grand Georgian townhouses.

The largest monument to a writer anywhere in the world! The “Gothic Rocketship” is a worthy tribute to Walter Scott who changed the way novels were written and reinvigorated Scotland’s sense of national identity.

We’ll walk down the river path, maybe spotting the local otters, birdlife and a few indigenous Edinburghers too! There’s local history too!

When you do this tour on Sunday, you’ll pass by the Stockbridge market

Walk through parts of the most central – and arguably most historic – public gardens in Edinburgh!
