It would be my pleasure to show and tell you the many sites and stories that Edinburgh and Scotland has to offer. I can offer a full range of tours of Edinburgh from 4, 8 and 12 hours. I can also offer a wide range of full day tours outside of Edinburgh from Stirling , St Andrews, The Scottish Borders and Outlander tours along with the Highlands of Scotland. Or I can build a tour that suits your tastes and requirements. I also offer a full range of tours throughout Scotland's whisky regions and distilleries, something completely different.

    John is an excellent guide. We had a full day trip with him throughout Edinburgh. He was very knowledgeable and was able to tailor the day to meet our needs. He has a very nice van and it’s an absolute pleasure to spend some time with. John will give you a great appreciation for the incredible history of Edinburgh.

    John was passionate about about his city of Edinburgh. He had plenty of stories and information to give us. He visited all the places that I had requested to see. What most impressed us is that in the back of his cab he had prepared a wicker picnic basket for us. It contained: water, drinks, snacks, even Kleenex! We have used ToursByLocals many times and this is...

All questions were answered, fun...

    We were very disappointed in our tour and our guide. The tour guide spent all the time telling a series of racy, disjointed stories designed to get a laugh or raise eyebrows. He did not give a sense of the city’s history or the importance of key figures, places and events. Totally not worth the time or the exorbitant fee.!

    Hi Melanie, there are no racy stories on my tours. 1 man standing in a window in his nightshirt is not racy. As for disjointed stories, if you both let me finish telling you about buildings and monuments before jumping to the next building. things would not be disjointed. You spent a lot of time on the phone looking things up. At the end of the tour you said you had a...
