Our Vision

At Capital Expeditions, we set out to create something unique—walking tours in Edinburgh that offer much more than the standard experience. Our mission is to show you more of Edinburgh through dynamic, immersive walks that reveal the city’s hidden treasures. We believe that the best way to experience Edinburgh is on foot, covering more ground and seeing more sights than any traditional tour.

What Makes Our

Tours Unique?

Our Edinburgh walking tours are designed for explorers who enjoy an active, engaging experience. We prioritise movement and discovery over standing still.
