Description

Join a fun and friendly German language walking tour of Edinburgh’s Old Town.
New to Edinburgh? Then this is the perfect introduction to Scotland’s capital.
Join me on a relaxed walking tour through the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, where we'll explore the city's most famous sights, uncover hidden corners, and hear the stories that bring these ancient streets to life – all in German.
Our adventure begins on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh’s most famous street and the historic backbone of the Old Town. As we wander through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll discover how a small medieval town grew into one of Europe's most fascinating cities.
Along the way we'll visit St Giles’ Cathedral, explore hidden closes and winding alleyways, and hear tales of kings, queens, rebels, criminals, writers and everyday Edinburgh folk. Some stories are inspiring, some are surprising, and a few are downright bizarre.
No visit to Edinburgh would be complete without seeing the mighty Edinburgh Castle, perched high above the city on an ancient volcanic rock. From here you'll enjoy some of the best views in town while learning about the dramatic events that shaped Scotland's history.
We'll also stroll through colourful Victoria Street, often linked to the inspiration behind Diagon Alley, and explore the lively Grassmarket, a place with a fascinating past that today is packed with character, cafés and local life.
As we make our way through the Old Town, you'll hear stories about Edinburgh’s literary legends, ghostly tales, famous residents and centuries-old traditions. There will be plenty of opportunities for photos, questions and recommendations for making the most of your stay in the city.
This tour isn't just about dates and facts. It's about getting to know the real Edinburgh through its stories, characters and hidden details that many visitors walk straight past.
Whether you're visiting Edinburgh for the first time or simply want to see the city through local eyes, this German-language walking tour offers a fun, informative and memorable way to discover one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
