Very recommended tour!
I took this tour with my family, and we had a fantastic time. Joe knows Edinburgh incredibly well and conveys his passion for both the city and Scotland throughout the tour. We learned so many interesting things, took great photos, and received excellent recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover Edinburgh from a local's perspective.

How does a free tour work?
Booking costs nothing. At the end, each person gives the guide what they think is fair for the experience: it's a voluntary tip.
