Edinburgh Private History Walking Tour

Peggy F.United States

Our private tour with Sarah was exactly what we hoped it would be. Personalized to our interests and the tour was customized based on our questions throughout our time together. Due to her strong knowledge on a wide array of subjects, she was able to respond in the moment and we visited those points of interest relevant to our discussions. She was easy to communicate with, on time and clearly knows the area and is an expert in it's history. We really enjoyed our afternoon with her and she even helped us find a place for dinner and made sure the restaurant host took care of us. Very professional and we finished the tour with an appreciation of the difference between "any tour guide" and someone with her certification and knowledge. Highly recommend!

Sarah was lovely. Full of knowledge, full of energy, eager to customize and ad lib on the spot. I would recommend her entirely!

My wife and I are very experienced travelers and use Tours by Locals almost every year. We had an excellent tour led by Sarah. She began our day with a big enthusiastic smile and was a true joy to meet. She is an experienced and knowledgeable guide who did a great job in giving us an overview of Edinburgh. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

We had a great afternoon walking through Edinburgh with Sarah - fun, interesting and engaging! She has a great personal approach and deep knowledge and passion for the history and culture of Scotland which provides lots of answers and fun stories, including some about my clan’s history. Great tour!

Sara is a fantastic tour guide! Her broad knowledge of Scotland’s history and her familiarity with Edinburgh made our tour spectacular! She is friendly, thoughtful, and kind! She included fantastic stops on our tour that we would never have found on our own. She made special arrangements, and gave us wonderful recommendations, and insider tips to getting around Edinburgh easily! I highly recommend Sara’s tour- you will come away informed and amazed! Thank you Sarah!

What a great way to spend a morning in Auld Reekie! Sarah is a delightful tour guide. Her enthusiasm for her adopted city shines through and she was full of facts and information about all the things she took us to see. Great communication prior to the tour and she was very willing to customize things to suit our interests. You'll feel less like you are on a history tour and more like you're wandering the city, just chatting with a friend who happens to know all kinds of nifty bits of history. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a guide.
