Idyllically situated on the east coast, built on seven hills, Edinburgh, the Unesco World Heritage Site for Architecture and Literature, welcomes its cheerful visitors with a colourful mix of sights, nature and history.
This tour will take you through Edinburgh’s Old Town and therefore offers the perfect introduction to the city’s fascinating history. We combine history with today’s events to give visitors a good first overview of Edinburgh, so that their stay here is set in the right context.
Perfect for the start of your journey, so that you can get your bearings and with some great tips you can continue to explore Edinburgh.
This two-hour tour is on foot, sturdy footwear is recommended, since the old town has, of course, a lot of cobblestones. The tour is suitable for all levels of fitness and all ages.
On this city tour we will show you the following sights: Edinburgh Castle (the castle), the Royal Mile (the main street of the Old Town), St. Giles Cathedral, Grassmarket (the former market place) and much more.
Meeting point is at the booked time in front of the entrance to the Signet Library on the square in front of St. Giles Cathedral (West Parliament Square).

Please refer to our T&Cs with regards to cancellation and refund policies.
Our tours are always privately tailored to you. And the pricing is staggered with the amount of people attending. Please add the required number of people to see the price of your chosen tour. Also check out our advertised Tours of the Months for special discounts.
Normally since we have been in touch with you prior to the tour we should recognise you and you would not need to bring a receipt of booking. If we do however need for you to show a receipt (in case it’s one of our tour guides doing your tour) we let you know specifically beforehand to print or make sure you’d be able to show your confirmation digitally.
Anything that is listed as “included” is included in the price. But if you would like to visit any additional attractions for example you would have to pay those separately on entrance. Same applies to meals which are not mentioned in the “included” section.
Our luxury Mercedes Van comfortably sits 7 people. But if you are intending to bring luggage or if you’re intending to do a multi-day tour we suggest to reduce the group size to 4-5 people.
We can however always accommodate bigger groups as Sean has the licence to drive bigger vehicles – or we can ask our colleague to tandem up with us and we separate the group into two of the same vans. His van can sit 6 people.
For a day tour – just make sure you bring adequate clothing and shoe wear to accommodate for weather changes and outdoor conditions if necessary. If you want to have your personal lunch picnic – please bring that as well.
We provide bottled water and we have one child seat if needed.
For an extended tour – we’ll provide you with a longer list of confirmation documents you may need and a more extensive packing list.
British weather is always changing – so the rule is to dress with the “onion principle” – have as many layers as possible to quickly adjust to temperature changes and have appropriate clothing ready for wet & dry weather. If you like to go for a wander, we always recommend to wear comfortable walking shoes that keep you safe on any surface, from cobblestones to muddy paths.
