How to Contact Edinburgh Street Historians

The easiest way to find us is Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 11:20 and 11:30 at the High Street Wellhead on the Royal Mile.

This will be when our guide is getting ready to run the Old Town tour, our most popular tour, and might have some time to answer your questions.

Book a Private Tour

Private tours are a great way to see the city and get something truly special. Our private tours are bespoke and can include information and stories customised to your preferences, provided we know before the tour starts so have time to research properly. We can also access various historical landmarks together if you are interested.

Prices for private tours vary on the number of guests as well as ticket prices to any of the attractions. Payment can be made a week before the booking commences.

Begin your message with the words “Private tour” and outline details, numbers, date, and give more than one option for a proposed start time (it saves time on messaging back and forth if we have options).

Contact via text message

If however, you want to book a private tour, the best place to do so is to message us via WhatsApp.
