Augustine was our guide on this 2.5 to 3 hour tour. She was enthusiastic and gave a good overview of both Edinburgh history and architecture.
We were offered the option to stop for coffee and/or toilet stops along the way. Something that not all other tour company’s tours offer.
When we got to the meeting point we realised that there would just be the two of us on the tour. This can be a bit of a negative thing on some tours. Not so with Agustina who made the tour interesting with just the right level of information given, answering our questions along the way.
I would definitely recommend this tour or any of the other tours the company offers. When we visit Edinburgh again, we will definitely do the Dean Village tour.

I joined the Old Town tour of Edinburgh with Augustina. Even though I have been to Edinburgh several times and know a bit about the architecture and urban planning there, I saw the city in a new light through the excellent commentary and images Augustina shared. She is an expert in old and new architecture. It was well worth it; I would highly recommend going on a Cobble Tales tours to anyone interested in the city.

We enjoyed our Architectural walk around this city. The history and layers of background that our guide Mohona shared was valuable and interesting. She included the older buildings up to the most recent Scottish Parliament building. A wonderful walk looking at history and stories from Edinburgh.

We live in Edinburgh so it was interesting to look under a different angle and learn new things about familiar places. We really enjoyed our time with the guide especially as it was only 3 of us on the tour. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discuss the interesting things.

I've had other architecture tours across Europe in the past, and this one really ranks at the top. Instead of just throwing facts one after the other and move on to the next building like some do, our guide connected the dots in the New town quarter and progressively uncovered the whole picture of the area and the history behind it. I felt like we took a seamless journey that eventually made it easy to understand this lesser known part of Edinburgh.
