Hi, I’m Joe.
Born and raised in Edinburgh, Joe brings the city to life through real local stories, humour, dark history, and hidden details most visitors miss.
This isn’t a scripted history lesson. It’s a relaxed, personal walking tour led by someone who knows the city inside out.
Let me tell you about the history, traditions, and superstitions of Edinburgh, the colourful characters who once walked these streets, and the era that changed the course of the world. You’ll also receive my exclusive QR code, packed with my personal local recommendations for the best places to eat and drink, along with some of Edinburgh’s hidden gems.
