Experience the best of
Edinburgh with Withlocals

"Loved Chris. Really brought the area to life. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The next day we had a great day on our own due to his suggestions . Loved all his stories "

"We had a wonderful walk with Laura yesterday afternoon. It is my first time in Scotland and we are only here for a couple of days, so we wanted to make the most out of our short stay. Laura was very pleasant and a great storyteller. She showed us the popular sites but also her favorite hidden gems. Her pride as a native Scot shines through as she tells her stories about her beautiful city’s fascinating history. She also shared tips for her favorite restaurants, shops, and pubs. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Laura. You’ll be so happy you did!"

"Firstly, communicating with Monica was a breeze. She was prompt and direct. She was timely; met us at the pick up point exactly on time. Her tour was wonderful. She took us through nooks and crannies that we would never have uncovered ourselves. The city through her eyes was lovely. A memorable and fond experience. 10 +++ "

"This is was our second tour with Mark and it was another 10 out of 10. Last week we took in the sights and history of Edinburgh, this week four of us took in the Tastes of Edinburgh. Mark has a way of bringing history alive. He is passionate about his home town and country. We learned so much about true Scottish foods, their origins and why they came to be. There was a lot of food, great variety, and the pace was good. We enjoyed ourselves very much. These tours will be some of our best memories of our Scotland vacation. "

"We had an amazing day with David, highly recommend!!"

"We had a great day with Oluf, highly recommend!"

"Alice was a wonderful treat to spend three hours with touring around Edinburgh! She is a special storyteller with engaging, thought provoking, and enjoyable tales from history! Absolutely loved our time with Alice!"

"We spent a delightful afternoon with Mark. It was a unique tour of hidden gems, down alleys, on buildings, at entryways etc and regaled us with the tales ( legend and fact ) behind these sites. We were a diverse group of friends. He read us well and tailor made these few hours into a delightful afternoon. "

"Based on my experience With Locals, I have high expectations. Maybe a little unrealistic, but Gains surpassed them. I was so impressed with Gains! His breadth and depth of knowledge, coupled with his understanding of current events as well as literature, TV, and movies, enable him to offer a one of a kind tour. Our three hours with Gains passed quickly, and and we found it to be both educational and stimulating. We freely peppered him with questions, his responses were comprehensive and thought provoking. We would encourage anyone traveling to Edinburgh to book a tour with Gains. You will enrich your time in Edinburgh by doing so. "

"Mark gave our group of six an absolutely fantastic “hidden gems” tour. From reading his profile and reviews from previous customers, I had high expectations and was not disappointed. His knowledge of local and regional history is very evident when he is telling stories while pointing out pertinent locations on the walking tour. He has a great sense of humor with a little bit of entertaining self deprecation that puts you at ease. He’s able to quickly pivot and change topics in response to questions or a new location. He also provided great recommendations for additional things to do and see, including restaurants and pubs. At the end of our tour, he went above and beyond to help us plan the rest of our day, including calling up and making reservations for us at a local restaurant. I can’t recommend him highly enough! "
