Sandemans is a large city tour operator, working in 20 cities around the world. Here in Edinburgh, they offer a range of local walking tours and experiences. Including a free, tips-only based tour, where guests pay how much they think the tour is worth. There’s also a range of fixed-price tours, covering different themes.
On the free tips-based tour, your expert local guide will take you around the city, focusing mainly on the Old Town. Where you’ll see and hear about landmarks including St Giles’ Cathedral, the Writers’ Museum, and the Grassmarket. You’ll learn about many of Edinburgh’s past residents and their fascinating stories. The tours are not scripted, and no two are the same. Each tour lasts about two and a half hours, so you get a thorough introduction to our amazing city. The fixed-price tours cover themes such as the dark side of Edinburgh, Harry Potter locations, the New Town area and an Edinburgh Pub Crawl. There’s also a choice of private tours exclusively for your group, which can be tailored for you.
