Overview of your Edinburgh tour

This eight hour tour will include all of the most popular and main tourist attractions that Edinburgh and East Lothian has to offer. You won't find it in any guide or tourist book! This experience is unique and different because you will not only visit the Old Town and New Town of Edinburgh and hear about the Grave Robbers along with the past of Kings and Queens of Edinburgh. You will also see the inspiration for Harry Potter and even see where James Bond and a former prime minister went to school. We will go to the Golf Course of Gullane and to North Berwick, where you can lunch at the famous fish and chip shop or Lobster shack. After lunch we will head to the world famous Tantallon Castle for some of the most breathtaking views in Scotland. This is one of the most unique castles in Scotland. Scotland's history dates so far back! I am very passionate about my country and wish to share my enthusiasm and passion as I show you around in a fun, relaxed, flexible and informative way. See you on tour!
