FAQ
How long are your Edinburgh walking tours?
Our walking tours run from 90 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the tour you choose.
Do your Edinburgh walking tours include a dog?
Our daytime walking tours are sometimes joined by one of our Golden Retriever tour guides, Walter or Arthur. However, please note that they do not go on our 'Castle to Twilight Tales' walking tours in the evenings.
Can I bring my dog on the tour?
Yes. Well‑behaved dogs are welcome, as long as they’re comfortable around other dogs, since one of our Golden Retriever tour guides often joins the tour.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. Advance booking is required to secure your place as our groups can fill up quickly.
Where do your tours start?
We meet at Makars' Court - just off the Royal Mile next to the Writers' Museum. For the exact spot and a photo of the meeting point, please see our homepage.
Are your tours suitable for children?
Yes- our daytime tours are family-friendly, and we love sharing Edinburgh’s stories with visitors of all ages. However, please note that our 'Castle to Twilight Tales' evening walking tour is best suited for teens (13+) and adults.
Do you offer private tours?
Yes, we offer private tours for families, groups, and special occasions. Email us at weewalkingtours@gmail.com to arrange.
How can I pay for my tour?
When you book on our website, you can pay by card online, or you can choose to pay in person (cash or card).
What happens if it rains?
Our tours run rain or shine- this is Scotland, after all. Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. We only cancel in the event of unsafe conditions.
Is this an Edinburgh ghost tour?
Our tours focus on Edinburgh’s stories, legends, and history. While we may cover spooky tales, it’s not a jump-scare style experience, and we adapt our stories if there are younger children in the group.
Is the tour accessible (wheelchairs/prams)?
Some routes include cobbles, steps, and hills, so accessibility can vary by tour. If you tell us your needs, we’ll recommend the best option.
What should I do if I haven’t heard back from you (booking confirmation, form submission, or email)?
Please check your spam/junk folder first. If you still can’t find anything, email us at weewalkingtours@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
