Private Royal Mile walking tour - Discover the history of our most famous street

Did a Royal Mile tour with Robert. We typically do walking tours as we find them to be one of the best ways to learn a new city. The tour was extremely informative and we were able to arrange a bespoke private tour with two young children under 3 (toddler walking and baby in carrier). We initially planned to do the Tour with a stroller but decided against it at the last minute. Robert was very flexible and we were able to still navigate most of the typical route with the kids, making some necessary adjustments where it would have been too difficult. We were also in the middle of the Fringe festival, so the streets were quite crowded and chaotic, but Robert helped us navigate the crowds easily. Learned a lot about the city of Edinburgh and its history. Robert was very personable and gave just the right amount of information. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely time on the royal mile tour! Robert has exceptional knowledge about the area and is wonderful with kids. He was good at explaining things to the adults as well as our 9 and 7 year old children. 😃

I had so much fun on this tour, and I learned a whole lot, too! Robert is an expert communicator and he's definitely the real deal when it comes to his knowledge of history and all related Edinburgh facts. My existing schedule prohibited meeting at the available times listed on TripAdvisor, so I contacted Robert directly, told him of my dilemma, and asked if he had any suggestions. Boy, did he! He suggested not only a different time to meet, which worked with my existing schedule, but also a different place to meet, which was closer to my lodging and therefore allowed more leeway to assure my on-time arrival. Wow. How kind and flexible and agreeable is that? And that's how I found Robert to be throughout the hours I spent with him that day, learning all about Edinburgh and its history. Kind, flexible, agreeable, an excellent communicator, and full of knowledge that I would love to confidently possess! Admirable! There he was, standing on the Castle Esplanade, as easy to pick out as he said he would be, and off we went for some terrific fun! I highly recommend this Private Royal Mile Walking Tour. I've signed up for private walking tours in nearly every large city I've ever visited over the past decade. THIS TOUR -- Robert's tour -- is probably the best, most enjoyable, most worthwhile private walking tour I have ever taken. I highly recommend! Thank you, Robert, for making it the joy that it was!

Robert provided a thoroughly detailed tour of Edinburgh. He welcomed us warmly and was very knowledgeable about everything we saw as well as questions we asked! Would recommend highly!

Excellent tour! So helpful to add context to all things Royal Mile. Robert also pivoted to showing us other places of interest as we toured.
