Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle & Holyrood Palace - 8hr Tour

Edinburgh is privileged to have one of only three UK royal residences, namely Holyrood Palace. But during the ages, the Kings and Queens of Scotland have also lived at Edinburgh Castle and this private tour with your own local guide will acquaint you with these fantastic buildings. Holyrood Palace is still used to this day by the Royal Family and features a ruined abbey on its grounds. Edinburgh Castle is home to the oldest Crown Jewels in Europe, called "The Honours of Scotland". We will visit both these monuments (unless the Queen is in residence when we revert to visiting her no less famous former swimming home, the Royal Yacht Britannia) and stroll along the Royal Mile, through the heart of the Old Town of Edinburgh. I would love to show you these gems of Edinburgh, illustrating what it is like to live in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and share my passion for this Capital City.
