Edinburgh with Withlocals

"Laura took us on a great tour of Edinburgh. Her deep knowledge and familial connection with the city was a wonderful addition to the tour. Her experience as a volunteer at the Grey Friars Cemetery was invaluable to getting a more in-depth understanding of the place and it's history, culture, and artistry. We would definitely recommend Laura to anyone interested in learning more about the hidden gems and details that only locals know about."

"Mark is a funny guide with a wealth of knowledge about the city where he was born and raised. His tour was very interesting, varied, and enjoyable. Mark introduced us to the different sides of Edinburgh, both on and off the beaten path. His tips for sightseeing, bars, and restaurants really enriched the rest of our stay in Edinburgh. "

" From the very first moment we met Mark at our meeting point, we had the feeling that he was genuinely looking forward to showing us around his city. His impressive knowledge of the city’s history – and, even better, all the little stories and anecdotes behind it – brought everything to life. The relaxed and natural way he shared them made the time simply fly by. When we also discovered that we shared a hobby and several other interests, our first impression was confirmed: Mark wasn’t just a knowledgeable guide, but someone who genuinely enjoyed sharing his home with us – its history, its stories and the way people live there today. We had a wonderful time with him and would be delighted to meet him again if we ever find ourselves back in the city. We would absolutely recommend spending time with Mark – it really felt like a friend showing us his city."
