What to expect

Make the most of your time in Edinburgh with our guided walking tour, a perfect combination of history, culture, and iconic sights. This experience includes a walk along the historic Royal Mile and a guided visit inside the majestic Edinburgh Castle (entry included).

Your journey begins on the Royal Mile, where your expert guide will lead you through the city's medieval heart, sharing captivating stories of Scotland’s past. Along the way, you’ll see historic landmarks such as St. Giles' Cathedral, the vibrant Victoria Street, and the atmospheric Grassmarket, once a site of public executions.

Step inside Edinburgh Castle, Scotland’s most famous fortress, and uncover its fascinating history. Visit the Crown Jewels of Scotland, walk through the impressive Great Hall, and step inside St. Margaret’s Chapel—the city’s oldest surviving building. Learn about legendary figures like Mary, Queen of Scots, and witness the tradition of the One O’Clock Gun.

After the tour, you’ll have the freedom to continue exploring the castle's covered spaces and museums at your own pace.

    Het was best prijzig, maar dat is momenteel erg veel. Maar een super leuke gids, die heerlijk met haar Schots accent de verhalen vertelde.
