Tour description

Are you ready to fall in love with Edinburgh on this top rated walking tour with a world famous dog by your side? 🐶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There is no better way to get to know Edinburgh than by experiencing this unique walking tour with a professional local guide.

Have you heard the legend of Greyfriars Bobby? Back in the 1800s, this world famous Edinburgh dog sat by his master’s grave for 14 years in an astounding display of loyalty. 🐕🪦

There is no scientific evidence to back this up but we think our dog Rowie could be Greyfriars Bobby’s great, great, great, great, great (with a few more greats) granddaughter! ❤️

At Bobby’s Tours, we blend our incredible history with our own personal recommendations. We believe this is the best way to get to know our magnificent city.  

What to expect from your tour: 

  • Check out St Giles Cathedral, our 900 year old church. ⛪️ 
  • Learn of Deacon Brodie, a notorious thief and the inspiration for a Robert Louis Stevenson classic. 📖 
  • Relish in a verse of a traditional Scottish song by our national poet, Robert Burns. 🎻
  • Take in the views of Edinburgh castle and learn of its varied past, from royals to witchcraft. 🏰
  • Your Tour Guide will share their own recommendations for local Scottish delicacies. 🥃 
  • Harry Potter fans will enjoy wandering down Victoria Street or as we call it, Diagon Alley.  🧙‍♂️ 
  • Finally, you will hear the tale of Greyfriars Bobby, Edinburgh’s most famous dog. 🐕🪦


We can't wait to welcome you to our beautiful city!
