New Town and Dean Village Walking Half Day Tour

The story of how the New Town came to be is an endlessly fascinating one. Find out how the neighbourhood's eighteenth-century construction was a reaction to the squalor of the Old Town. On this tour discover the New Town's enthralling past in the company of an experienced guide with a PhD in Scottish history. Its revolutionary design still inspires architects and visitors today. Take in some absolutely stunning locations such as Calton Hill, Princes Street Gardens and Dean Village. With Dean Village you feel like you're in a picturesque village in rural Scotland whereas you are in fact only a 5-10 minute walk from one of the busiest shopping streets in the country. One of the reasons I really enjoy doing this tour is it shows off the very best Edinburgh has to offer, historic architecture combined with unrivalled green space and scenery. I will make sure you leave with plenty of options as to places to eat and drink as well as further must do attractions to make sure you make the most of your stay.
