Overview of your Edinburgh tour:

Ideal for those only in Edinburgh for a short stay, this tour is a fantastic opportunity to explore one of the most historic and best preserved neighbourhoods in the United Kingdom, in the company of an experienced guide with a PhD in Scottish history. I particularly enjoy leading this tour because there is the opportunity to explore 2, 000 years of my country's history. Edinburgh Castle is the most iconic stronghold in Scotland and the first of many I have visited. Your walking tour will include some amazing Edinburgh landmarks such as St Giles Cathedral, Greyfriars Kirkyard and of course Edinburgh Castle. This tour will end with your guide taking you into Edinburgh Castle and showing you the main points of interest (and what you can't afford to miss) before leaving you to explore further on your own. Perfect for individuals and groups of all ages interested in Scotland's fascinating history and culture, but also those trying to get their bearings in a new city!
