“Robert put together a two-
hour bespoke walking tour for
me and my husband. It formed
an invaluable start to my
research into the old town
during the Victorian period,
which is the setting for my next
children's book. Robert is
extremely knowledgeable about
Edinburgh's history and a very
personable, eloquent guide
who avoids the sensationalism
of the typical tourist patter. I'd
absolutely recommend one of
his tours - you won't regret it!”

If you are looking for a very special Edinburgh
experience one which covers locations or stories which
are of particular interest to your group, we are here to
deliver!
We can tailor our existing tours or research entirely new
ones so that we meet the specifications your guests
want. We’ve already crafted completely new walksfor a
variety of guests including a major Edinburgh school,
groups of friends travelling to one of their ‘bucket list’
locations and members of a literary society.
We would be honoured to create your perfect private
tour.
“JUST BRILLIANT!
I booked a private 3-hour tour
with Robert - it was fantastic
value for money and it really
made my trip to Edinburgh even
more special and memorable!
Robert is a passionate expert,
and delivered all these
wonderful and fascinating
stories about Scottish-Edinburgh
history in such a mesmerising
and humorous way… I booked
Robert after reading the reviews
here on TripAdvisor and am so
glad I did. Don't even think
about - just do it!”
