• An Unforgettable Edinburgh Walking Tour with Robert

  Robert at Historic Edinburgh Tours delivered an absolutely exceptional walking tour of Edinburgh. From the very first stop, his depth of knowledge, engaging storytelling, and genuine passion for the city brought every street and landmark to life. He struck the perfect balance between history and entertainment, making the experience both informative and memorable for everyone in our group. What really stood out was how he connected with us... answering questions, adding personal touches, and keeping the energy high throughout the tour of Old Town, New Town, The Royal Mile, graveyards and more. He even had props that kept us laughing. Our entire group loved every minute of it, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for Edinburgh’s rich past. I already booked another tour for my next visit. If you’re visiting the city, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Robert - you won’t regret it!

  An informative and engaging tour for P7's from Robert today. The children loved all the stories and facts especially the more gruesome ones! The tour was tailored to the interests of the class and it worked brilliantly! Lots of discussion and questioning made it a very active session for the whole class. They loved it! Highly recommend.

  Robert is the absolute best! We had a ball spending our first afternoon in Edinburgh in his company. My husband and I weren’t sure which of his tours we wanted to book, so he ended up taking us on a bespoke tour of the city made to match our interests. His love of Edinburgh, his depth of knowledge, and his kindness and humor made for a fabulous all-around experience. We agree that this tour was probably the highlight of our trip, and just a wonderful way to start off our time in the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Robert is truly a gem. If you have the opportunity, be sure to book with him - you won’t regret it!

  Robert is a very engaging and well researched tour guide. It was like walking around the Old Town with an old friend. Robert is great at delivering a tour for adults and children alike. You will be recommending Robert to friends when you get home. Highly recommend.

• Old Edinburgh Primary 7 School Trip

  I booked the Old Edinburgh walking tour for our 3 primary 7 classes to support our Old Edinburgh topic. It was amazing! Having been taught by Robert myself I knew it would not disappoint. The tour was engaging, pitched at the right level and loved by all the children and our adult helpers. I’m amazed at how much was packed into 90 minutes. The props, handouts and interactions made the experience! As a teacher it was excellent to hand over to an expert, the children gained a lot of knowledge and visited places they’d never been before. I couldn’t recommend the tour enough and we will definitely be back again! King’s Park Primary, Dalkeith

  A school trip around old Edinburgh. Tour was great and set at the right pace. Robert was enthusiastic, very informative and kept 30 kids engaged and interested. In fact his stories and info were enough to keep them quiet. No mean feat! Lots learned about Edinburgh’s history for the kids and adults alike. That the kids were talking about things that he said later on is proof enough. Fully recommend.

• Fabulous highly recommended tour!

  We booked a private walking tour with Robert and it was fabulous. He focused on tailoring the tour to my children (ages 7, 9 and 11). He was extremely flexible when they decided they were hungry and suggested a place for them to pop in and grab a quick snack to take walking with us. All three of my children were completely engaged the entire time (no small feat) and all three said that this tour was their favorite thing we did in Edinburgh. This is seriously high praise, particularly from my youngest child who typically does not really enjoy guided tours and becomes easily bored. I really can't say enough good things and would highly recommend booking with Robert. Really totally top notch, interesting for the whole family with stellar communication.
