Experience the best of
Edinburgh with Withlocals

"What a great guide! Monica gave us a terrific introduction to the famous landmarks and "hidden gems" in the area around the Royal Mile of Edinburgh. She gave us a bit of history so that we could understand what we were looking at, told many interesting stories of notable Scots and brought us to some beautiful (and quiet) parts of this otherwise very busy section of Edinburgh. We learned what a "Close" is, about famous authors and thinkers who hailed from Edinburgh and she treated us to a piece of the best fudge in Edinburgh! Monica made us feel welcome and at home. By the end of the tour, we felt like we had made a new friend."

"We had an absolutely wonderful tour of Edinburgh with Sven-Erik! From the very beginning, he was warm, personable, and engaging, making us feel like we were exploring the city with a good friend rather than just a guide. His knowledge of Edinburgh’s history, architecture, and hidden corners was truly impressive, and he shared it in such a fascinating, easy-to-understand way that kept us captivated the entire time. What really stood out was how attentive and thoughtful he was—tailoring the tour to our interests, answering all of our questions with great depth, and weaving in stories that brought the city to life. Sven-Erik has a genuine passion for Edinburgh, and it shines through in every detail he shares. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and experience. Highly recommend Sven-Erik to anyone visiting Edinburgh—you’ll come away with not only a deeper appreciation for the city, but also some truly memorable moments."

"Scott was easy to communicate with setting up our trip beforehand. The day of our journey Scott was punctual. His vehicle was very well maintained. Right from the start of the journey we all felt very comfortable with him and his driving. His knowledge of Scotland was stellar. He had a world of information for us. He was charming and engaging during the drive. I would highly recommend Scott for any tour in Scotland. "

"Michelle was the perfect guide for our group of 3 sisters touring Edinburgh. She is very knowledgeable about the area and local legendary lore. We had a great time....a lot of laughs, some really good local food and got our steps in for the day at the same time."

"I have now had a change be part of Alice's storytelling tours twice within last couple years. Her walking tours has brought so much more to our Edinburgh visits, waking up the "ghosts" in a positive way, combining nice walk in beautiful city with stories around the history of the city in cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!"
