This eight-hour tour will include all of Edinburgh's most popular and main tourist attractions! Come with me and you will see some spots you won't find in any guide or tourist book. This tour is extremely popular with visitors who have plenty of time and want to see what Edinburgh and the Lothians have to offer. We will visit Leith Links, The Scottish Parliament, The Palace of Holyrood House, St Giles, The Royal Mile, Old Town and New Town, and of course Edinburgh Castle! We will also drive around Arthur Seat and the Crags for some of the city's most breathtaking views. For you Outlander fans there are also a few spots we can point out on our Edinburgh Driving tour Discover mystery and intrigue at the world-famous Rosslyn/Roslin Chapel! Dan Browns Da Vinci Code put Rosslyn Chapel on the map, and visitors like you come from all over the world and never forgot Rosslyn Chapel!
Had a wonderful tour today with Kevin! We visited Edinburgh Castle and Rosslyn Chapel, as well as many of the city sights in between. He even helped us to adjust the schedule after our cruise shortened our time in port at the last minute. Highly recommend that you spend your day with him if you'll be in the area.
Fast paced tour with VIP private access to great houses! Made the most of our time on the ground and was just a great intoduction to the City. Will book again this coming Summer.
Kevin was fantastic! He was knowlegeable, made history fun, and was flexible to meet our needs. Will use him next time we are in Scotland.
We spent a fantastic day with Kevin in Edinburgh! The entire experience was magical. We saw so much in one day that there is no way we would be able to see or even know about it on our own. It truly felt like being a local. Even with our 6 year old we didn't notice how the time flu by. All of us loved Kevin. Pleasant, engaging, attentive to detail, with great sense of humor and thinking 2 steps ahead for us. Booking Kevin was the best thing I have done on this trip allowing me to truly enjoy Edinburgh!
We really enjoyed spending the day with Kevin. He had great stories to tell about the locations as well as history and folklore to keep us engaged while driving to each site. I recommend Kevin without hesitation for an enjoyable day out!!
This was a trip of a lifetime with our dear friends along. Kevin arrived promptly and greeted us with the enthusiasm he had all day. The big treat was having plenty of room in his black cab. He got us to the castle first off so we were there ahead of the huge crowds. Then off to Rosslyn chapel. Although Kevin wasn't allowed to come into these attractions with us, he certainly gave us plenty of information prior to each visit. We finished with a glorious driving tour of Edinburgh
- Visit Leith Links where Mary Queen of Scots played Golf - Visit The Royal Yacht Britannia where you will have the option of doing the tour of the boat - The Scottish Parliament where you will hear the stories of the nearby neighbourhood - The Palace of Holyrood House for a photo opportunity and the option to visit the palace - St Giles Cathedral for a photo opportunity - Edinburgh Castle one of the most fought after castles in the world - The Royal Mile - Arthur Seat the extinct volcano where you will hear about where the alleged name came from and the stories of Arthur Seat - The Crags - Rosslyn Chapel mystery and intrigue takes place here, you will never forget this Chapel. It's one of my favourite places in Scotland and I can't recommend it enough. We will visit a lot more places, but we have to keep somethings for the tour!
