My husband and I highly recommend this walking tour with John early in your visit. It’s highly entertaining and an excellent introduction to Edinburgh, its sites, a bit of history, and some quirky facts. Would be enjoyed by both first time and repeat visitors. It was especially useful in helping navigate the winding streets of Old Town and prevented our getting lost all week.
