Discover Edinburgh's hidden corners, as your guide shares captivating tales and intriguing insights about the city's vibrant past. This experience is all about uncovering the historical gems that often escape the attention of the casual passerby.

And that's not all—thanks to our partnership with The Fudge House on the Royal Mile, each participant will receive a complimentary gift: “a taste of” artisan Scottish fudge, adding a sweet touch to your exploration.
