If you'd like to be guided through the splendour of Edinburgh, Scotlands capital city and the historic Port of Leith, a nearby historic gem, well I'm your man. I offer two walking tours. An Arts/Entertainment tour of Edinburgh's New Town (A World Heritage Site) as well as a tour based specifically in the nearby Port of Leith with all the amazing history it has to offer. The Art and Entertainment tour starts at the Shoogly Peg bar in the centre of the New Town at 133 Rose Street, Edinburgh. EH2 4LS. The Historic Port of Leith tour starts outside the Malmaison hotel in Leith at 1 Tower Place, Edinburgh. EH6 7BZ. I can work around your schedule for a day and time to suit you.

If you'd like something more substantial well we can organise a half or full day tour of the city based on your specific requirements. You have that flexibility.
I don't just offer walking tours though. I am here to offer advice on Edinburgh, the nearby Port of Leith, Scotland and the United Kingdom. I can advise on places to eat and drink when you're feeling peckish and thirsty, and Edinburgh has an array of places to experience as well as those all important transport links. I am here not just to show you Edinburgh but serve and I'll be very happy to meet you at your place of residence before setting out that day too. I look forward to meeting you.
Your Tour Guide
