If you love ‘the unbelievable truth’ on radio 4, you’ll love this! In fact lots of people loved it during the Edinburgh Fringe 2021. Here are a few of the comments received via the Edfringe website about the alternative tours!

“PLEASE go and take this tour. You will be forever grateful that you did.” (AH)​

“Brilliant. Absolute deadpan delivery and hilarious content” (MM)​

“Absolutely hilarious, the best walking tour I’ve ever been on” (AK)​

“Fabulous clever, witty walking tour…if you want to see a bit of Edinburgh on foot, ignore the official tours and book this one.” (JB)​

My spoof walking tour was built on a deep reservoir of knowledge about Edinburgh’s real history. As a town planner I’m perfectly placed to explain what’s there, why it’s there, and why it looks like that today. As a keen runner, I can do all that as we also work up a comfortable sweat around town. 

I’ve lived in Edinburgh for more than 20 years, so can show you all the quirky, hidden bits that you’d never find yourself. I can also show you all the really good pubs, restaurants and shops that most visitors completely miss.

All routes can be adapted, though standard routes are:
Arthurs Seat – 8 km
New Town – 8 km
Arthurs Seat and Meadows – 10km
New Town and Calton Hill – 10km
