Focus on Edinburgh's Old Town with this private Royal Mile walking tour - a detailed exploration of the backbone of the medieval city...
This three-hour fixed-route option takes you through the heart of the Old Town and explores its origins as a medieval market town, as we wind our way from the Palace of Holyroodhouse towards Edinburgh Castle. Find out how the city changed in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries with major periods of growth and redevelopment, and uncover the accumulation of 'lost' towns that make up the city centre today.

Walk in the footsteps of historical figures like James Hutton and Adam Smith, and discover modern architectural developments such as the Scottish Parliament building. As we make our way through the narrow lanes and alleys of the city - the 'closes' and 'wynds' of old Edinburgh - you'll get a terrific overview of the way this city has grown and developed over the last 900 years.
The tour starts outside Holyrood Palace and finishes in the Grassmarket.
