Hello there! My name is Olga. Architecture and teaching work brought me to Edinburgh, and it didn’t take long to fall for the city’s extraordinary stone-built streetscape and layered architectural history. Wanting to share that story, I founded Cobble Tales.

Since 2016, Cobble Tales has offered walking tours led by local architects and architecture students—welcoming curious visitors, locals, and built-environment professionals alike. With many 5-star reviews on Tripadvisor and Google, we’re known for thoughtful, well-researched content and a genuinely fun time exploring the city on foot.

Cobble Tales still offers private, in-person tours. And before I moved away from Edinburgh, I recorded our signature routes for VoiceMap, so you can experience the tours anytime—at your own pace, in a simple and accessible audio format.
