This private guided walk with our unique guides (Stuart Usher or his son Richard, Professional Historians such as Dr Alison Duncan or David Forsyth, other prominent guides such as Prof. John Frank), will both entertain and enthral your group. Your party (up to 12 people) will be the only visitors on the walk. Stuart Usher's family have historic connections with Edinburgh (his great-great Uncle, Andrew Usher, donated the magnificent Usher Hall to the city, where the tour normally starts) and his deep knowledge of the city's cultural, historical and architectural aspects means he has a unique perspective. You can book a morning tour (9.30am to 1.00pm), an afternoon tour (2.00pm to 5.30pm) or our full-day tour (9.30am to 4.30pm) You can have flexibility on itinerary should you choose, e.g. if you have special interests in certain aspects of Edinburgh, and we can even arrange a starting point to suit you (e.g. your hotel) as long as it is in the city-centre.

Perfect way to spend the afternoon. Stuart took us off the beaten path and told us about the many local historic sites and figures, highlighting both their social contributions and their sordid tales. Stuart is such a fountain of wisdom with great wit and personality. His personal experiences and perspective made for a unique and insightful walk that completely distracted us from the gusty weather. Highly recommend!

We had the absolute most amazing time with Stuart. This is my second tour with him and we learned and experienced so much both times! Would recommend Stuart and his colleagues to anyone looking for an authentic Edinburgh experience that isn’t a cheesy Harry Potter your.
