In Edinburgh, Geotourist provides fantastic tours that take visitors through the city\u2019s dazzling history. However, Edinburgh has another, more modern aspect to its story that Geotourist highlights with its app.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two tours that feature the city\u2019s social enterprises offer listeners the opportunity to support them, from wherever in the world they may be listening.<\/span><\/p>\n
