Before you set off
Frequently asked
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often before a tour.
What happens if it rains?
Edinburgh weather is part of the magic — we walk in light rain. Tours only cancel for extreme conditions, in which case we notify you at least six hours ahead and issue a full refund or reschedule.
Where do we meet?
Your exact meeting point is included in your confirmation email — it varies from tour to tour, as each one is adapted to its own route. Most begin near the Royal Mile or Greyfriars Kirkyard.
Are tours suitable for children?
Yes — children of all ages are welcome. Under 12s go free on every tour, but still need a reserved spot in the group. Ages 12–18 pay the concession price. Evening / after-dark walks are best suited to ages 10+.
Which languages do you guide in?
Every public tour runs in both English and Spanish, led by native Spanish-speaking guides. You choose your language when you book, and English and Spanish are guided as separate groups, so you're always with others in your own language.
Are tours wheelchair accessible?
Most of our routes use cobblestones, steep closes and stairs, so wheelchair access is limited. Get in touch before booking and we'll work out a tailored route where possible.
Cancellations & refunds
We want every experience to run smoothly — for guests and guides alike.
Cancel any time — just let us know as early as possible. We may cancel a free tour in case of extreme weather or low numbers, with at least 6 hours' notice.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund. Reschedule for free at any time. Within 24 hours of the tour, or a no-show, there's no refund — our freelance tour guides are already booked and paid for their time — but you're welcome to reschedule.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour — deposit refunded in full. Reschedule for free at any time. Within 24 hours, or a no-show, the deposit is forfeited — our freelance tour guides are already booked and paid for their time — but you're welcome to reschedule.
