Since moving to Edinburgh in 1988 from Germany, via South Africa and Switzerland, I am continually struck by the awesome beauty of this European Capital, by the visible history, the living culture and the juxtaposition of nature and city. I have been guiding individuals and groups through Edinburgh, Scotland and the rest of the UK since 1994 and just love imparting knowledge, local anecdotes, introducing guests to the history and the daily life of this mesmerising country and city. Come and join me on one of my walks and prepare to be enchanted, entertained and educated. If you have any particular requirements or interests, I would love to hear from you and could then tailor a tour exactly to your requirements/interests. As a mother of six, I am particularly suited to adapt the program towards children/teenagers and have experience in bringing history alive for them. I very much look forward to meeting you and showing you around! 29yrs of experience of guiding individuals and groups for shorter or longer holidays, including cruise passengers.

Felicitas was a fantastic guide. Her knowledge of Edinburgh was remarkable, sharing great stories to me and my 30 and 27 year old sons. Our 3 hour walking tour touched the main highlights. I would highly recommend booking Felicitas.

We had a wonderful tour! Felicitas was extremely knowledgeable about the area and history. We saw places we would not have seen on our own. She introduced us to local shop owners that resulted in some very rare local finds. Do not hesitate to book a tour.
