ABOUT ME
Ilaria, your storyteller in Edinburgh
I walk along the edges of Edinburgh’s official history.
You’ll find me in the forgotten pages, in the quiet closes where voices soften and details matter.
With Hekate Tours, I chose to share what usually remains unseen: the women history overlooked, the symbols carved into stone, the herbal traditions and beliefs once whispered in the shadows.
I guide travellers with slowness, respect and curiosity — offering time, space and context to truly meet the city.
My work is rooted in careful research, but also in my own story: I arrived in Edinburgh searching for meaning, and found a city that speaks softly yet profoundly.
Every tour I create is a way of sharing the connection I’ve built with these streets — a relationship forged through study, wandering, and a genuine love for the hidden layers of this place.
