Looking for a German-speaking Tour Guide in Edinburgh

I'll be in Edinburgh next March with a group of Swiss adults. Some can speak excellent English but others are still beginners. I'm looking for a German-speaking tour guide that could take us around Edinburgh for about 2-3 hours. I've searched the internet but have found no one. Maybe someone on this board might know who I should contact?

Thanks for your comments.

If there is not an official German tour guide you may consider calling the University and see if there any German speaking students who could fit the bill??

O ;pve Edinburgh - Have fun!

Thanks for your replies!

Unclegus: I've written the edinburghtourguides an email. We'll see if they have anyone available.

lurker: I'll consider your alternative if nothing else pans out.

The University idea is a good one too.
Thsi is the link to the Univesity Students association.
