Points forts

Discover the best of Scotland’s capital on a semi-private tour designed for cruise guests who want to go beyond the typical sightseeing loop. With small group sizes, you’ll enjoy a more intimate and immersive experience led by a local guide who knows how to bring Edinburgh’s layered history to life. Your day combines a panoramic drive through the Georgian elegance of the New Town with a guided walking tour of the Old Town, where cobbled closes and historic landmarks reveal the city’s medieval past. From the Royal Mile to Victoria Street and the Vennel Steps, your guide shares fascinating stories that make the streets come alive. With entrance to Edinburgh Castle included, you’ll cap off the day with a self-guided visit to Scotland’s most iconic stronghold, complete with sweeping city views. This carefully curated itinerary offers the perfect balance of storytelling, scenery, and independence—far from the crowds of larger tours.

About Édimbourg

Édimbourg, capitale écossaise sur des collines volcaniques : château sur son rocher, Vieille Ville médiévale et élégante Ville Nouvelle géorgienne.

Le château d'Édimbourg couronne Castle Rock et conserve les Honneurs d'Écosse, les joyaux de la couronne écossaise. De là, le Royal Mile descend à travers la Vieille Ville, devant la cathédrale Saint-Gilles et un dédale de closes étroits, jusqu'au palais de Holyroodhouse et au Parlement écossais. Arthur's Seat, ancien volcan, s'élève au-dessus du palais avec de vastes vues.
