Peaceful and green Edinburgh: History, Nature & a Gentle Walk
I’m Felipe, a passionate cultural guide based in Edinburgh. Originally from Chile, I love connecting people through meaningful walks that blend history, architecture, and nature. I’m also a language teacher, so I offer tours in both English and Spanish. I enjoy slow travel, storytelling, and helping others see the hidden side of the city.

The meeting point is outside Haymarket railway station, right at the crossroad in front of Ryrie’s Bar. I will be easy to recognize because I always carry a big blue umbrella with me. Just look for the person who stands out—you won’t miss me!

I’ll tell you real stories about the places we see—stories of old schools, kind kings, brave workers, and quiet heroes. We’ll see beautiful buildings, bridges, and riverside paths. And we’ll finish in a lovely area called Roseburn, just a short walk or tram ride from the city center.
