This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
This tour takes you to the local spots in Dean Village, Stockbridge and Edinburgh New Town, well away from the crowds, especially in the summer months when Edinburgh Old Town can get crowded.
Many Scottish people never visit these places which are all real gems you shouldn't miss if you want to explore all the places that make Edinburgh great and visit the lesser known local spots that most tourists will never know about.

Meeting point
The "Oor Wullie" and Highland Cow statues outside the Huxley restaurant (across the street from the Johnnie Walker Experience on one side and the Caledonian Hotel on the other) is a great Central Place to start, but if it is a morning tour perhaps we can meet at your hotel if it is not too far away.
