Overview of your Edinburgh tour:

I started delivering this tour as about 90% of those who visit Edinburgh only see the Old Town and go shopping in the New Town. Just beyond there lies some amazing places which I know like the back of my hand! I call this place my hometown and that's why I want to show you "my secret Edinburgh". Come with me and explore the place where the real people of Edinburgh live. Find hidden villages nestled in between parts of the New Town, see the grand streets of the New Town where the inventors of telephones, television and much more lived. Also, visit great places and find out about what makes it tick. Want to have a break? we can stop for coffee in local cafes or even visit "Edinburgh's best local pub" for a beer break!

Your Edinburgh tour itinerary

Starting off at the edge of the New Town, we'll pass the main streets that most Scottish people know, but then we will travel beyond there to beautiful villages within the New Town. We will see the place where Harry Potter was finished, visit Stockbridge which has been described as the "best residential area to stay in the UK" and if it's on a Sunday we can visit the excellent farmers market there. Stockbridge also has some great coffee shops to visit and after 12 midday one of the famous local pubs of Edinburgh is also open (please note no one under 18 is allowed in the premises). We will see somewhere featured in Mary Shelly "Frankenstein" whilst following the Water of Leith to Dean Village, an area formerly packed with watermills and inhabited by the bakers who supplied bread for Edinburgh, but now a quiet and stunning residential area that feels like a country village despite being only a few minutes from Princes Street. Customization possible upon request.
