Semi-Private Edinburgh City Walking Tour with a Local Expert Guide

Duration: 2 hours

Edinburgh is one of the most ancient cities in England. Memories of the first settlement recall the Roman castrum – fortress – from which has started growing and evolving century by century. Despite time has passed by, the Medieval atmosphere of the cobblestoned streets and dark passages and alleys remains. And probably this is one of the characters that make this city unique in the world.

Follow your guide in this journey through the centuries and listen to stories and legends of Edinburgh. Pass by Royal Miles, look at the amazing St. Giles Cathedral, cross the Parliament Square and reach one of the landmarks of the heart of the city: the John Know’s House – a Museum dedicated to the founder of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

Last but not the least, peek at the Edinburgh Castle, the Scottish landmark par excellence.

During the tour your guide will also provide you useful tips and additional info about the Scottish culture.
