Our guide,Gerry, went out of his way before our tour to learn about our interests to better personalize our experience. We had a wonderful day walking from Calton Hill through New Town and Leith to the port of Leith. Highly recommend Gerry’s tours. He is a very friendly and knowledgable companion for a day in Edinburgh.

Excellent private tour. Our guide Gerry was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic day in Leith and Edinburgh. We learnt about history, culture and much more. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tour guide Gerry. He even took us to a special bar for a pint of beer at the end. Highly recommended ;))

We went on a tour around the area of our office in Leith and it was great to learn so much history that's right under our noses. Gerry was really knowledgeable and very easy to listen to, I can't wait to share all my new fun facts with everyone!
