Private Old Town Orientation Tour
This Private Tour is a great way to get an overview of the city's history and things to do/places to eat.
We walk through the medieval Old Town, giving you a great overview of Edinburgh's most famous landmarks, but also the city's most intriguing hidden streets and alleyways. You will soon know more about Edinburgh than its average resident.
This tour is great for all kinds of group sizes and ages. If you have any specific interests, such as Harry Potter, History or Outlander, let us know and we'll happily tailor the tour to you!
Your guide for this tour will most likely be Gains; our experienced head walking tour guide who holds a PhD in Scottish history. We don't think you'll find anyone that knows so much about Edinburgh's past, and he tells it all in a really fun and interesting way!
