Höjdpunkter

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 Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Skottlands huvudstad, reser sig på vulkaniska kullar, med ett slott på en klippa, en medeltida stadskärna och en elegant georgiansk New Town.

Edinburgh Castle kröner Castle Rock och förvarar Honours of Scotland, de skotska kronjuvelerna. Därifrån löper Royal Mile nedför Gamla stan, förbi St Giles' Cathedral och ett virrvarr av smala closes, till Holyroodhouse-palatset och det skotska parlamentet. Arthur's Seat, en urgammal vulkan, reser sig ovanför palatset med vida vyer.
