Why choose this Edinburgh tour ?

Offering you Edinburgh’s #1 walking tours is always our top priority.

This is no ordinary tour: We cover much more ground so you see more of Edinburgh than what ordinary walking tours offer. This is possible because we strongly limit our group size for a relaxed feel, and focus on walking rather than standing around.

From historic Old Town and the Royal Mile to the elegant New Town, from the enchanting Waters of Leith and Dean Village all the way to Calton Hill, this truly is the ultimate Edinburgh walking tour. Along the way, enjoy fascinating insights: from Harry Potter connections to Edinburgh’s history, there is plenty to be unveiled.

Please note that this tour is not suitable for those with an especially slow pace or walking impairments. Participants should be able to maintain a relaxed but average walking pace.

If you want to see the absolute most of Edinburgh and not miss the most beautiful views of this iconic city centre, this walking tour is for you.
