Castles & Cobblestones: Private Full Day Edinburgh Walking Tour
Overview
This tour steps foot into the history of a city thousands of years in the making, where every nook and cranny has a story to tell.
Walking through the city streets of Edinburgh is a very special experience. There’s really nowhere else in the world that could compare. It seems that in Edinburgh, every passage will take you on a new adventure, a tale of two towns joined by one very unique urban identity.
Explore the monuments that everyone misses and hear the stories that only a local would know. See where kings were crowned, heads were lost, wars won, and legends were born. There’s always something exciting waiting around every winding wynd, waiting to be discovered, explored, and admired. TRIPorganiser’s Walking Tour of Edinburgh ventures beyond the cookie-cutter travel experience into Edinburgh’s secret history that has inspired the world for centuries.
Note: The King’s Gallery at Holyroodhouse has seasonal hours: daily in summer, Thu–Mon in winter, with shorter winter days only.
