Hi there! My name is James, and I am a local host in Edinburgh. I absolutely love this city, and I can't wait to share my passion for it with you. Edinburgh is such a unique place with a perfect balance of nature and culture. From the stunning parks and green spaces to the iconic landmarks and historical sites, there's always something new to discover. As a fan of entertainment and music, I know all the best spots to catch a great show or listen to some live music. Whether you're in the mood for some traditional Scottish tunes or something a bit more modern, I've got you covered. I have a great general knowledge of the city, but I am particularly familiar with Leith, City Centre, and Corstorphine. These are some of the most vibrant and interesting neighborhoods in Edinburgh, and I can't wait to show you around. Let's explore Edinburgh together and create some unforgettable memories!
We had a wonderful adventure in Edinburgh with James as our guide. He was attentive to our desire to not see the typical tourist attractions. He planned our visit so that we were able to experience several different areas of the city, such as Newhaven, Moray Place, Coates, Princes Street and The Royal Mile. We were able to access both, tram and buses, which were very helpful so we didn't have to walk the entire time. James culminated our visit to the Royal Mile and Palace of Holyroodhouse. He shared with us details of the history, culture and modern events of the city. It was a fantastic journey. James put us at ease, as if he was already someone we know. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is wishing a first-hand tour of Edinburgh.

James was the perfect guide, like having a friend show you around their hometown. As I had requested, we avoided all of the crowded tourist areas and instead walked the interesting and lovely corners of the city only locals would know. It was perfect

James war der perfekte Guide. Er hat uns einen super Eindruck über die Stadt vermittelt, was uns als Edinburgh-Anfängern sehr geholfen hat. Schon einige Tage zuvor hat er uns tolle Tipps geschickt, die unseren Aufenthalt rund um die Tour zu einem sehr schönen Erlebnis gemacht haben. So sind wir nie in Touristenfallen gelaufen. Immer wieder sehr gerne.
