Hello, my name is Sarah, I am a qualified Blue Badge tour guide in English and Italian, part of the Scottish Tourist Guides Association. My main passions are history, human beings and storytelling, that is why I became a tour guide. Being empathetic is a fundamental skill when working with people, that is why my tours are different according to the age, nationality, and needs of my customers. Delivering tours, for me, means also to have a good time and my enjoyment is infectious! Edinburgh is a vibrant jewel immersed in history and culture and it will be my pleasure to share it with you. My fortes are completely customised walking tours: from 3 hours to all day or days, I take people around and make them discover this marvellous city, through my eyes. All my tours can be customised to meet your personal interests and needs.

An All Day Tour of the Highlights of the City - Shore Excursion
Overview of your Edinburgh tour
Enjoy a wonderful day discovering all the highlights that make Edinburgh a UNESCO World Heritage site. After having reached the top of the Royal Mile via transportation, we will visit the fascinating Edinburgh Castle which has a vital place in the history of Scotland with tales of royals, sieges, and murders. We will travel downhill into the heart of the Old Town, visiting the highlights as well as discovering the off-the-beaten-path secrets of the Lawnmarket and the High Street. We will see Edinburgh New Town from one of the high vantage points. Finally, we will end the tour in front of the magnificent Holyrood Palace, a place for many dramatic episodes in the short reign of Mary, Queen of Scots. You will return via private vehicle with a driver to the shore where your ship is docked. If you are "Potterheads", please get in touch and it will be my pleasure to modify the route adding some magical "Harry Potter" spots to our tour.
