Edinburgh free tour
Elissa was interesting, funny and informative. It was a nice way of getting a basic understanding of Edinburgh. We will do the ghost tour tomorrow evening as well because we had such a good time on this one.
Best walking tours!
So far we did the harry potter tour with Charlotte and the ghost tour with Megan and both were amazing! On every trip we go on walking tours and these ones were by far the best we have been on. Both girls were fun, interesting and perfect at their job. Can’t wait for the regular walking tour we have planned for today!
History and Harry Potter Tours in one day
We did both the 11am History tour and the 1:30 Harry Potter tour on the same day with Charlotte. The tour was great and we learnt a lot about Edinburgh and the Harry Potter Tour was also good fun. Charlotte our tour guide was great (really knowledgable and enthusiastic) so we would definitely recommend using the Free Orange Tour if you are visiting Edinburgh.
Harry Potter and Edinburgh tours!
We had 2 wonderful tours with this company! We did the Edinburgh tour on a rainy day with Charlotte and she was knowledgable and animated! The tour lasted 2 hours and contributions/donations were accepted at the end. I’m so glad we did the door as opposed to wandering on our own as we wouldn’t have seen some of the little nooks and crannies that aren’t obvious right off.
The Harry Potter tour with Elisa a couple days later was a blast! My 4yr old said it was the favorite part of her day! Thanks everyone for tolerating a little kid on the tour! She’s an HP nut and had so much fun! It was 1.5 hours and visited all the great spots inspirational to J.K. Rowling and also some fun tidbits I didn’t know!
A great way to explore Edinburgh
Thank you Megan for making our family’s stay in Edinburgh so enjoyable. Our 10 & 8 year old loved the Harry Potter tour. They were so impressed with your knowledge. And the ghost tour was really interesting and enjoyable. A great way to explore Edinburgh. Highly recommend both tours.
Great tour!
We went on 2 different tours with the Orange Free Tour (in November 2018). Both times Charlotte was our guide. We did the general walking tour and then the ghost walking tour later that week. Both tours were amazing! You’re taken to all the main tourist attractions that you would want to see, with bonus’ of hidden gems you don’t usually hear about! For the ghost tour, they talk about the creepier history of Edinburgh but it was so much fun (if you’re into that kind of stuff). Of course, at the end they ask if this tour was worth anything to you and it definitely is! Charlotte was amazing and definitely knew what she was talking about and was very informative and enthusiastic, you can tell she likes what she does. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re in the city and want to know more about its history.The tours only take around 2 hours so its a good way to kill time.
A fantastic tour!
We did the City Tour and the Ghost Tour with the guide Charlotte. She’s an amazing and entertaining story teller. It’s the perfect tour to get an overview of the city and an insight to the history and culture of Edinburgh enriched by funny and spooky stories. Best free tour I’ve been to!!
The best intro to Scotland
I went on the city tour with Charlotte this morning and it was fantastic! Charlotte has such a passion for Edinburgh and the culture of Scotland. It is a 2 hour adventure that gives you great bearings on the old town and an orientation to Scotland as a country. I highly recommend this young company, they have a great passion for what they are doing and I look forward to trying out their Harry Potter and Ghost walking tours to continue to learn more about this beautiful city.
Great walking tour
It was awesome, I did 2 of 3 available walking tours and our tour guides were amazing! It was interesting and I could learn and see a lot about Edinburgh and its history. I also loved the Harry Potter tour, she didn’t just show us Harry Potter places but also told us more about J.K. Rowling

Why choose a Free Tour?
When it comes to choosing a walking tour to explore a new destination, many people wonder if a Free Tour is really the best option. You might question the quality of the guide or the tour itself, and if a Free Tour will provide the same value as a conventional tour. The answer is, without a doubt, YES.
The secret lies in the essence of the system itself since you choose to pay whatever you consider the tour was worth at the end. Therefore, if you don’t enjoy it, you aren’t obligated to pay, and instead, you have the freedom to evaluate the service for yourself. On top of that, the guide has to give their best performance, in order to receive any contributions for their efforts. Because of this, we ALWAYS trust our guides to deliver high-quality tours to our guests.
