What to expect

Make the most of your time in Edinburgh with our guided walking tour that combines a walk on the historic Royal Mile with a fast-track entrance to Edinburgh Castle.

Your journey begins on the Royal Mile, where your expert guide will lead you through the city's medieval heart, sharing captivating stories of Scotland’s past. Along the way, you’ll see historic landmarks such as St. Giles' Cathedral, the vibrant Victoria Street, and the atmospheric Grassmarket, once a site of public executions.

Step inside Edinburgh Castle, Scotland’s most famous fortress, and uncover its fascinating history. Visit the Crown Jewels of Scotland, walk through the impressive Great Hall, and step inside St. Margaret’s Chapel—the city’s oldest surviving building. Learn about legendary figures like Mary, Queen of Scots, and witness the tradition of the One O’Clock Gun.

After the tour, you’ll have the freedom to continue exploring the castle's covered spaces and museums at your own pace.
