Discover the heart of Scotland’s capital on this immersive full-day walking tour through Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll explore cobbled streets, hidden closes, and grand Georgian avenues while uncovering tales of royal intrigue, literary legends, and dramatic history. Visit iconic landmarks like St Giles’ Cathedral, the Royal Mile, and Grassmarket, and learn about the city’s connection to figures like Mary Queen of Scots and Sir Walter Scott. The tour culminates with skip-the-line entry to Edinburgh Castle, where you’ll explore its ancient halls, crown jewels, and sweeping views over the city. After the guided portion ends, visitors are free to continue exploring the Castle Museums at their own pace—on average, guests spend between one hour and one and a half hours visiting the museums.
