Private Old Town and Castle Tour
This tour is perfect for first time arrivals in Edinburgh with only a limited amount of time to see the city. It’s a great opportunity to get the skinny on good places to eat and drink as well as other attractions a bit off the beaten track.
On this tour take a walk through the historic Old Town before visiting Scotland’s most famous attraction, Edinburgh Castle, in the company of an expert local guide who most likely will have a PhD in Scottish history. The Old Town has so many stories tucked away in its distinctive closes and wynds as well as amazing views of impossibly beautiful streets and public buildings.
On the final part of the tour you will head into Edinburgh Castle itself where you will find out about it’s many historic roles as hill fort, medieval fortress, royal residence, prison and army garrison.
