Frequently Asked Questions about Unique Tours in Edinburgh

1. What is the difference between a private tour and a public tour of Edinburgh?

A private tour is exclusively for you and your group. It offers a personalised experience, allowing you to explore Edinburgh at your own pace and focus on interests specific to your group. You'll have direct access to your guide for more in-depth discussions and the flexibility to adjust the itinerary as you wish.

2. How long are the tours, and what should we bring with us?

Most of our tours last between 2 to 4 hours, designed to immerse you fully in Edinburgh's atmosphere without rushing. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and dressing in layers, as Edinburgh's weather can be quite unpredictable. Don't forget your camera – you'll want to capture the stunning views and unique discoveries along the way!
