On this half-day walking tour of Edinburgh, you will discover some of the most important historical sites of Scotland, including the world-famous Royal Mile, a guided tour of Edinburgh Castle, and a medieval labyrinth of cobblestone alleyways and tenements that comprise this UNESCO World Heritage Site. On your private tour, your expert guide will take you into Old Town’s maze of streets and concealed courtyards, where you will learn about the city’s ‘closes’- cramped alleyways, and ‘wynds’ - narrow lanes between houses. You will also have the chance to explore the imposing St Giles Cathedral – the seat of Scottish Christianity for over nine centuries. A tour of Edinburgh would not be complete without learning about Scotland’s most famous historic attraction: Edinburgh Castle. Your guide will take you on a brief private tour of the castle, before leaving you to explore it at your own pace.

    Ross was absolutely amazing. He was prompt, professional, and pleasant. He really knows Edinburgh, and we saw many things we wouldn't have without his guidance. Ross is extremely knowledgeable!

    Thomas was brilliant. This is a hilly town, so there are several inclines and steps. Well worth it. This was our first time in Edinburgh and we did not spend enough days here. We will come back. A fantastic city with fantastic people and food.

    Great tour of all the major sites. Our guide Marty was personable and friendly. Being a local he not only knew the "official story" he offered additional insight to fill in some of the blanks between the lines.Marty also shared some great advice that help us odd the beaten path. Great way to start our vacation!
