Dean Village Private Walking Tour

Posted By : Terry_M
A tremendous tour with a true professional and very personable guide who was extremely well versed in the history of Edinburgh. Entertaining us throughout the tour, she kept us mesmerized with people-related anecdotes that gave life to the history while simultaneously educating us. We were completely enthralled with the entire presentation and would recommend it as a must do in Edinburgh.

Joined the free tour at the City Chambers at 2pm during the festival. Lucky to have Victor as our guide and, with just 3 in the party, it was a very informative and joyful slow trek to the castle and then down to Greyfriars.

I join this tour every year though usually choose the morning session. As there were 25 people on that session (not sure how many guides they used) then I'm pleased to have waited until later. The guide has been different each year, all are good but I appreciated Victor's depth of knowledge and sense of humour. Stories were approached from angles I'd never considered before. I was particularly shocked by Lady Stair's "fashion accessory" If you are looking for a themed tour Victor is willing to oblige, contact him through the website.

Sam was fantastic! I could not believe anyone could know so much about the city! Her enthusiasm and love of Edinburgh showed throughout the tour. Although it costs more, would recommend a personal tour. You learn so much more

This is a long tour, but Sam, your guide, is genuinely is so engaging that you completely forget the time as she takes you through Edinburgh's history. We learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the walk.

They only do small groups so very intimate and loads of real detail.

Definite recommendation

We had a great time with Sam on our walking tour this weekend. Sam was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Lots of anecdotes and little facts that we would never have known. Highly recommend, would definitely book another tour. Thanks Sam

We did the tour this morning with Sam. It was a great time. She was both knowledgeable and personable and had interesting observations and anecdotes throughout. We enjoyed both the walk and the talk.

This tour was very good and we received a lot of information. We went in under the impression that we would stay on the royal mile its self and it would help us to get the lay of the land, so to speak.

That is not the case! Be ready for 3 hours of up and down hills and staircases.

Our guide David from Australia was very knowledgeable & interesting. We learned a lot of the history of Edinburgh & enjoyed the walk. It is a very hilly city so be prepared to walk up & down hills & stairs. We loved it!

Excellent and well-prepared tour guide. Makes it fun for 2 hours. If you are looking for an experienced, articulate, and entertaining tour guide, Fiona is recommended

Sam our tour guide was incredible, showing us around Edinburgh, from the castle down to the bottom of the Royal Mile. Her stories and insight were very impressive and engaging, and she always had an answer to our questions, having a deep knowledge of the city's architecture and history. We very much enjoyed our walking tour, despite the cold, and appreciated Sam coming to do the tour for only 2 people (my mother and I), especially as a last minute booking. Couldn't recommend it more!
