Overview

See parts of Edinburgh away from the Royal Mile in a day with this private sightseeing tour.

Avoid the crowds on public transport and get around the city in your own private vehicle with a Scottish Local behind the wheel.

Visit Calton Hill and Holyrood park for the very best views of Edinburgh, explore the Royal Yacht Britannia and take in the Forth Bridges with views of the Forth Estuary and the Kingdom of Fife.

Spend some time at Rosslyn Chapel, made famous from the 2006 Da Vinci Code and its rich history.
