Fabulous!
Althea has amazed us both by sharing her knowledge and by her ability to immerse us in the fantastic history of Scotland and Edinburgh! The visit was perfect. We were able to discover the "little" and the "big story". We were able to exchange at will in a very pleasant and even friendly atmosphere. It was fabulous!

A real visit and its secrets
Sublime City Tour with an Extraordinary Guide who introduced us to the city in a different way. She really took the time without ever rushing us to move on. I highly recommend this group of French guides. A big plus ten Denis

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French cost?
+
Prices start at $286 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Edinburgh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French?
+
Included: Guided Tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 80 listed pickup locations in and around Edinburgh. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French offered in?
+
It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Discovery Tour: Edinburgh Strange & Secret History French if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
