On this four-hour stroll through Edinburgh, you’ll uncover some of Scotland’s most significant historical landmarks, including the renowned Royal Mile, a detailed walkthrough of Edinburgh Castle, and a medieval complex of cobblestones and apartments that make up this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your private exploration will be led by a knowledgeable guide who will guide you through Old Town’s labyrinthine streets and hidden squares, enlightening you about the city’s ‘closes’ - congested alleyways, and ‘wynds’ - slim passageways between residences. You’ll also get to visit the grand St Giles Cathedral – a pivotal center of Scottish Christianity for more than nine centuries.
No trip through Edinburgh would be fulfilled without gaining insights into Scotland’s most popular historical site: Edinburgh Castle. Your guide will conduct a brief, exclusive tour of the castle, after which you’re free to wander and discover at your leisure.
