Edinburgh: Private Walking Tour in French with Clémentine｜United Kingdom

Edinburgh Private Walking Tour (2 hours 30 min) – Old Town & Hidden Gems

Discover Edinburgh’s history, stories and secrets on a private 2 hours 30 min walking tour led by a local expert.

I’m Clémentine, a history graduate living in Edinburgh since 1999, and I personally guide every tour to ensure a high-quality, authentic and fully personalised experience.

We begin in the heart of the Old Town, exploring the origins of the city before walking along the Royal Mile and its hidden closes. Along the way, you’ll hear fascinating stories about Edinburgh’s transformations, its colourful characters and everyday life through the centuries.

During the tour, we will:

Walk the historic Royal Mile
Discover hidden alleyways (closes)
Enjoy views over the elegant New Town
Pass Edinburgh Castle
Stroll along Victoria Street
Explore the Grassmarket
Visit Greyfriars Kirkyard

Our tour ends at Greyfriars Cemetery, where history meets legend — from Harry Potter inspirations to ghost stories, crime tales and the story of Scotland’s most loyal dog.

With my background in history and teaching, I make Edinburgh’s past engaging, accessible and meaningful — whether it’s your first visit or you’re returning to explore more deeply.

This private walking tour is perfect for couples, families or small groups who want a personal introduction to Edinburgh, tailored to their interests and pace.

Let’s explore Edinburgh — yesterday and today — together!
