Edinburgh ByFoot
Walking tours for your ears!
Discover Edinburgh’s stories at your own pace — wherever you are. Edinburgh ByFoot gives you free, self-guided audio tours that bring the city’s history, landmarks, and hidden corners to life. Listen on your phone as you walk the tour in person, or explore virtually from home while planning your trip.
Whether you’re curious about the Royal Mile, the Old Town, or Leith’s creative waterfront, our tours are designed to fit around you — pause anytime, skip ahead, or replay your favourite stops.
Our dedicated Android app is newly available, try it out for free walking tours of Edinburgh and let us know what you think! The Web App is available on all devices. No download required!

Our Aim
Our aim is to make tours of Edinburgh accessible for all at whatever pace or activity level they can achieve. We want to make sure these tours are high quality but a low enough price that anyone can enjoy them. That’s why we have two free tours available right now.
We want to be a launching pad to inspire our users to try tours they might not have thought of before. By allowing you to access the tour before arriving in the city, you can plan your trip to make the most of every second in Scotland’s beautiful capital. Maybe you find you love our royal history tour, so find a specialist walking tour in that area? Or maybe Leith and the Shore takes your fancy and you find yourself spending all afternoon on the Royal Yacht Britannia. Whatever you find, we hope you find it with us.
