really good tour, it’s not a tour of the castle (well a small part is) it’s a tour of the street leading to the castle with a lot of history. our tour guide xander was great! his knowledge and enthusiasm was amazing. I would definitely book this tour if you are coming to Edinburgh.
The tour guide was very patient and provided detailed explanations.

Guide

  • Enjoy a quick tour of the castle highlights
  • Hear stories about how this royal residence was also a prison
  • At your own pace, explore inside St Margaret’s Chapel and see the crown jewels
  • Take a snap of the impressive medieval siege cannon

Start by meeting your guide at the entrance to Advocates Close. From there, you’ll follow in the footsteps of royalty (and even pirates) as you enter Edinburgh Castle.

As you discover the castle grounds, hear stories about how this fortress was once the residence for Mary, Queen of Scots, and a prison during the Napoleonic Wars. Take a snap of the six-tonnes Mons Meg (a medieval cannon), and admire the Royal Palace.

Afterwards, explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site at your own pace, and step inside St Margaret's Chapel, Scottish National War Memorial and more.
