    Jerry, our guide, weaves historical facts into stories that are so interesting and memorable. Jerry knows so much about the city, not because he’s learned it from a book or school, but because he’s lived it as a member of the community.

  • Enjoyable walking tour...

    We had the absolute pleasure of exploring old Edinburgh with Gerry Dorian of Edinburgh Walks, and the 4 hour walk was as beautiful and captivating as the people of Scotland. Firstly, Gerry is an engaging professional. He spoke with me via messages almost a year before our trip, and did not blink an eye at the questions we had. Moreover, he provided us with such good information, I practically had my entire trip at the ready when we arrived. But, the walk was simply perfect. Gerry not only blending history and historical literatures with landmarks, access to places of unique historical context, but weaved in lore and recent fan film to create a perfectly tailored experience for us. What stood out beyond his depth of knowledge was his compassion and true nature of care and concern whilst curating a perfectly tailored experience. We could not recommend him more.
