Highlights
Meeting you at your city centre hotel, we will take you on a private walking tour around Edinburgh with a local and dedicated guide. Not only will you see all the big tourist sights but we will also show you many less known locations. Along the way you will get to know much more about the history of our beautiful city and some of the people who have made it their home over the last 1500 years. The perfect tour to see 'everything' if you're only here for a day or two or for your first day of a longer stay to help plan out the rest of your trip.

Itinerary
See Edinburgh Castle (outside only)
The famous main street of Edinburgh, with the Castle at one end and the Queens Palace at the other. Lined with shops, and alleyways shooting off in every direction as well as being home to the Scottish Parliament and St Giles Cathedral
Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town and behind Edinburgh Castle, the Grassmarket area is one of the most vibrant, picturesque and lively areas of the city. Great for food and drink too.
The High Kirk of Scotland
The very contemporary looking Scottish Parliament.
If your legs are up to it, why not stroll up Calton Hill for perhaps the most iconic views of Edinburgh.
See the greatest monument to an author, anywhere in the world.
Cancellation
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts, for a full refund.

- We have earmarked this tour as especially safe during the Coronavirus outbreak due to generally quiet places that we visit where social distancing is generally not a problem. All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide. To make it easier and sarer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point. This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport. Please feel free to wear masks throughout or at times during the tour. Your guide will also have a mask with them.

About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, rises on volcanic hills, with a castle on a crag, a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town.
Edinburgh Castle crowns Castle Rock and keeps the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels. From there, the Royal Mile runs downhill through the Old Town, past St Giles' Cathedral and a warren of narrow closes, to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, rises above the palace with sweeping views.
