JOURNEY’S YOU’LL REMEBER

MAGIC YOU’LL FEEL

Explore Scotland at a relaxed pace with Wanderlust Tours, a small Edinburgh-based company offering thoughtful, small-group day trips. Our experienced guides take you beyond the usual routes - through highland landscapes, costal cliffs, ancient villagrs and historic castles - with storystelling, humour and plenty laughs along the way. Perfect for solo travellers, couples and small groups looking for an authentic experience from Edinburgh.

Why choose Wanderlust Tours

  • Local expertise: Our guides are Scotland-born residents with deep knowledge of Edinburgh’s history, culture and hidden corners. Expect stories, context and local perspective you won’t find in a guidebook.

    Small-group experience: We keep tours intentionally small for personalised attention, easier navigation of narrow streets and a relaxed pace. More time for questions, fewer elbows in the back.

    Curated routes: Each itinerary mixes the city’s iconic landmarks with lesser-known spots. You’ll see the musts, and the surprising bits that make Scotland, well, Scotland.

    Flexible options: Choose from walking and easy-paced historical tours, or book a bespoke private tour for families and special occasions. Options for different interests and energy levels mean you get the day you actually want.

    Comfortable, reliable service: Tours start punctually, meet at sensible locations, and come with clear pre-tour information so you know what to expect — no guesswork, no awkward standing-in-the-rain moments.

    Safety and accessibility: Our team is trained in safety procedures and provides accessibility information for each tour. We’ll advise on route suitability and suggest adjustments where possible.

    Responsible tourism: We support local businesses, respect heritage sites and follow sustainable practices to minimise our impact on the places we love.

    Excellent value: Transparent pricing, no hidden fees. Quality guides and thoughtfully planned tours to help you make the most of your time in Scotland.

    More than a cliché: This isn’t a postcard parade. Expect authenticity, intimate groups, affectionate humour that makes history feel alive — and fun.

    Choose Wanderlust Tours for an informed, friendly and genuinely local way to experience Scotland.
