Overview

Settled in the rocky hills, Edinburgh offers everything from beautiful architecture to stunning landscapes, and everything in between. You’ll join one of our hosts, and from here it’s up to you if you’d like to strut your stuff down the Royal Mile, or pay homage at the Scott Monument? Are you a landmark beeliner, or a leisurely wanderer? Just tell us your pace and we’ll stick to it.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
