Step into history before the public arrives with this tour of Edinburgh Castle—the only one of its kind offering private early access. Perched on Castle Rock, this iconic fortress has shaped Scotland's story for centuries.
Your guide will guide you through its serene grounds and reveal the fascinating history and legends behind this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Step into St. Margaret’s Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh, and marvel at the Great Hall’s magnificent 16th-century ceiling. Your guide will also take you into the Crown Room to see Scotland’s dazzling Crown Jewels up close—without the usual crowds.
This tour offers rare access to areas typically off-limits to guided tours, including the Royal Apartments and exhibitions like the Military Prisons. Experience the castle as it was meant to be: a quiet, reflective journey through Scotland’s history. End with breathtaking views of Edinburgh from the castle's elevated position. This scenic spot is ideal for capturing unforgettable memories of Scotland’s capital in a way most visitors never get to experience.
