Even though the weather wasn’t great, it didn’t bother this interesting tour. As part of the fringe I took this tour and it was really informative and never dull! The guide had a lot of knowledge not only of Sherlock Holmes but also the history of Edinburgh.

Thank you Simon! So glad that you enjoyed the tour despite the rain. It is, after all, the 'real' Sherlock Holmes Walking Tour and at least you got to experience the 'real' Edinburgh! Thank you both for joining me!!

This tour is a great choice for everybody who wants more than a traditional history tour. History though is part of this tour to explain Arthur Conan Doyle's background but it covers much more than that. You learn about Victorian Edinburgh and why it had the best medical faculty in the world, but also how Doyle made his living and who the real Sherlock Holmes was. The guide is an enthusiast himself (as you can see from his awesome clothing) and always up for a chat about the latest Sherlock news, which makes it even more enjoyable for Holmes fans as well as newbies. So we definitely recommend this tour; it is money and time well spent! By the way: Also suitable for non-natives who are fairly familiar with the language. No difficult Scottish accent. ;-) …

Hi Rebecca thank you so much for this delightful review. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the Tour as well as the general Sherlock Holmes chat! It's great to meet other Sherlock fans and I am always learning new things from my guests. I hope too that you are inspired to return to Edinburgh one day soon!

When you're enthusiastic about something it rubs off. and Toby our guide really enthused us about Arthur Conan Doyle with some fascinating facts about how Sherlock Holmes was 'born'. if you're in Edinburgh during or after the Festival find 1.5 hours to do this tour. You won't be disappointed…
