On this half-day walking tour of Edinburgh, you will discover some of the most important historical sites of Scotland, including the world-famous Royal Mile, a guided tour of Edinburgh Castle, and a medieval labyrinth of cobblestone alleyways and tenements that comprise this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
On your private tour, your expert guide will take you into Old Town’s maze of streets and concealed courtyards, where you will learn about the city’s ‘closes’- cramped alleyways, and ‘wynds’ - narrow lanes between houses. You will also have the chance to explore the imposing St Giles Cathedral – the seat of Scottish Christianity for over nine centuries.
A tour of Edinburgh would not be complete without learning about Scotland’s most famous historic attraction: Edinburgh Castle. Your guide will take you on a brief private tour of the castle, before leaving you to explore it at your own pace.

Panoramic view from the hill. Beautiful especially Edinburgh castle. If you have difficulty walking may not be the best option as it’s a 3hr tour and steps to climb on the way.
Tour guide Robert was informative and knowledgeable about Scottish culture and history.

Nice, friendly guide but very underwhelming tour. Very overpriced for what it is. Basically just walked around a little & told some stories many of which were written write on the buildings or plaques.

I cannot believe the cost of this tour per person. I could have done this walk myself and found the information provided by the guide on Google. For the price I was expecting something interesting and exceptionally informative. I typically don’t do guided tours because I find the information provided watered down and the guides going through the motions to move on to the next group of tourists who were gullible enough to pay money for something they could have learned themselves. I thought this tour would be the exception because it is a private tour, not a tour with strangers. I was wrong. This was a complete waste of money. I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 because our guide did show up and do the tour in cold, windy, and rainy conditions.

We had a wonderful private walking tour with Ross. He was so knowledgeable about the area, the history and the best spots for photos. It was very cool to hear about everything from the families who lived in Edinburgh to the government to the family tartans and kilts. The castle is huge but Ross took us to the best spots and had great historical stories to share along the way. Definitely book this tour - it is fantastic!

Our guide, Mike was terrific. His knowledge of Scottish history was remarkable. He kept us entertained with readings in Scots from such luminaries as William Burns and David Howe. The tour itself covered all of the areas of the city that we were most interested in. There was never a dull moment and we greatly appreciated his droll sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and happily gave it a five star rating.

Impressive building perched at the top of the city...where we go and where we return
It goes up constantly like all the streets of the old town

Andy was a great guide. He catered to my 10 year old and told stories that made us both laugh. For 3 hours, you really get to see a ton of Edinburgh’s history.
