I invite you on an extraordinary journey into the most hidden corners of the city. I will show you places that remain invisible to most visitors – spaces hidden between the walls of the Old Town, secrets you won’t find on maps or in guidebooks.
Through photographs, I will reveal inaccessible corners and show you exactly where the city’s greatest secrets are hidden. We will travel back more than 500 years to the time of witches, dark legends, and robbers hiding in the underground passages of Edinburgh that have survived to this day.
This is a journey into a world known only to a few. If you want to see the city from a completely different perspective, join me and discover secrets that have remained hidden for centuries.

5.00I really enjoyed the tour with Secret Tours Edinburgh. I’ve been to Edinburgh a few times before, but I still learned so many things and discovered places I had no idea about. The stories were interesting, the guide was great, and the whole tour felt very natural and engaging. You can really feel the history of the city while walking around. Such a great experience and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh!

5.00Secret tours in Edinburgh are a fantastic way to discover a different side of the city. Some of the places you visit are truly hidden and easy to miss on your own, which makes the experience feel special and a bit mysterious. The guides share interesting stories, local legends, and lesser-known facts that you won’t find in typical tourist spots. The tour combines secret places with well-known sights, offering a more complete and engaging view of the city.

5.00I joined a secret places walking tour in Edinburgh and it was a really great experience. The tour covers some of the main areas of the city, but what makes it special is that the guide also shows places that are genuinely hidden. We walked around the Old Town near Royal Mile, but also went through tiny closes, hidden courtyards, and small passages that most people would simply walk past without noticing. Some of the spots were really well hidden and I would never have found them on my own. The guide was friendly and shared interesting stories about the city’s history and some lesser-known facts about Edinburgh. If you enjoy discovering places that are a bit off the usual tourist route, this tour is definitely worth doing. It shows a different side of the city.
