Welcome to Edinburgh!

headphones 02:04

Imagine this: cobblestone streets under your feet, the chill Scottish air brushing your cheeks, the distant sound of bagpipes, and-best of all-a grand adventure waiting at every turn. Edinburgh is a city where ancient stones whisper legends, clever minds shaped the world, and even ghosts can’t stay quiet. Actually, if you spot a ghost on this tour, just ask it to join in-more the merrier, right?

We’ll dive into the secrets of the School of Informatics-where modern magic (okay, computers) is made. We’ll swap ghost stories at Greyfriars Kirk’s gates, and peek through the royal windows at Holyrood Palace. Along the way, you’ll hear tales of rebels, royalty, brilliant minds, and the occasional student who’s had one too many Irn-Bru sodas!

Ready for a few tips? - As you walk, I’ll pop up with stories when you reach each landmark. If I get shy (rare, but possible), just hit play yourself for the next tale! - Feeling lost? No need for a map and compass-you can check the route right here in the app. - Got a burning question about a stop? Tap the chat below and ask away! - You’ll pass a few sensitive spots-like ancient Kirks (churches)-so if you’ve got a hat, it’s polite to remove it, and aim for respectful attire. - Oh, and keep an eye on those famous Edinburgh pavements: they’re mysterious, uneven, and love to trip up distracted walkers. Stay one step ahead! - Lastly, bring your curiosity and maybe a raincoat-Edinburgh weather likes to make surprise guest appearances.

If you’re not already outside the grand doors of the School of Informatics, head there now. The journey of fifteen stops is about to begin-and trust me, Edinburgh’s got a story (or ghost, or king) for everyone. Let’s make some memories-onward!

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.

Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
