HISTORIC EDINBURGH TOURS
“I was on a tour with Robert last Saturday.
It was so wonderful because he's such a
fantastic tour guide with such a profound
knowledge of the history. It was a great joy
to listen to the stories about the Old Town.
The visual aids he uses are a perfect
addition to them and as you see the 'then
and now' you get a better idea of what the
Old Town must have been like. Robert is so
friendly and patient and has a good sense
of humour. His enthusiasm is contagious
but never ever boring. I highly recommend
this tour because I enjoyed every minute of
it.”
WHY CHOOSE US?
Explore two old towns for the price of one on
this special guided tour! Edinburgh and the
Canongate are joined by the Royal Mile; this
guided tour will let you explore some of the
most picturesque parts of ‘Old Edinburgh.'
This Edinburgh guided tour focuses on the
life of the Victorian poor, and it doesn't hold
back on the stories of how our ancestors
managed to survive being on the lowest rung
in Scotland's capital city. This is one of our
most fascinating tours!
We were delighted to appear on the Dutch
TV show ‘Verborgen Verleden’, featuring in
an episode with media personality Sacha
de Boer. Our archive has also been used
in a variety of international newspapers,
magazines, documentaries, and books.
If you’re studying ‘Old Edinburgh’ with your
class then our forthcoming resource will
help you deliver the Curriculum for
Excellence Social Studies Benchmarks. This
interactive whiteboard resource should be
available for testing in September 2017.
Email us if you’re interested in
testing it with your class.
We believe that every company should ‘do
their bit, ’ and we will run semi-regular tours
with proceeds going to Streetwork. We’ve
done two already in 2017. Streetwork helps
people who are homeless in Edinburgh. Click
below to find out what
Streetwork does and how
you can help.
