Explore both sides of Edinburgh's city centre - this private walking tour takes you on a circular route through Old and New Town areas, to show how the city has changed over the last 900 years...
Starting and ending in the Grassmarket, this three-hour fixed-route tour gives you a great overview of Edinburgh's history, from Old to New and back again. Hear stories of the people who have lived (and died) in the city, and find out how the city has changed over the centuries. From witches and wizards (but not THAT one...) to science and technology, Edinburgh's history touches almost every facet of humanity. |

No visit to Edinburgh is complete without getting to grips with the dualities and contrasts within the city centre, and this tour offers a fascinating and informative way of understanding Scotland's capital.
From the cobbled lanes of the Old Town to Princes Street Gardens, this route takes you full circle through Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover the Royal Mile and into the New Town, an alternative side of the city with 250 years of its own history - otherwise you're only getting half of Edinburgh's incredible story! This tour starts and ends in the Grassmarket. |
