Hear about controversial monarchs like Mary, Queen of Scots, and influential Enlightenment thinkers. View the grand Edinburgh Castle and learn about its history and the legendary Stone of Destiny, a symbol of Scottish monarchy. Continue to the Mound, linking the Old and New Towns, and take a short break in the lively Grassmarket Square.

We had an amazing experience exploring Edinburgh with Steuart! Our trip was amazing. Our guide was super nice and told us a lot of interesting stories about the places we visited. They made everything fun and easy to understand. We saw many beautiful places. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to truly experience the magic of Scotland!😉
Il Tour con la Guida Ilaria e' stato bellissimo - Esaustivo e non noioso... Grazie per l' Esperienza 😊
Interessante tour per il centro di Edimburgo e un ringraziamento particolare ad Armando che è stata la guida perfetta che un gruppo potesse avere, trasmettendo la sua passione ed il suo interesse per questa bellissima città
This was a wonderful walking tour by Stuart Usher. He brought to life with stories and humour, the people, places and architecture that make Edinburgh the beautiful historic city it is. Highly recommended.
Un bellissimo tour per la città. La nostra guida (Ilaria) molto simpatica e soprattutto molto professionale. Tour consigliato.
Tour molto gradevole e guida simpatica e preparata!
I loved this tour! Alastair was a fantastic guide, both knowledgeable and funny. Edinburgh is a beautiful city and he made it come to life with its fascinating history.
Love Edinburgh. Love it even more now after an incredible walking tour - plus a wee song - with the inimitable Douglas Graeme. Douglas took a city I cherish and thru his passionate, knowledgeable and intricate history, gave it even more colour and depth. Wish it had gone on longer, maybe a pub lunch and more storytelling. Douglas was a wellspring of information - but more than that he was great company. I only hope the next time I’m in town I’ll be able to do another tour with Douglas. Highly recommend!
Edinburgh! I fell in love! It was so beautiful especially at the top of the Edinburgh castle wherein you can see the breathtaking view of the entire city and the Northern sea. It was a wonderful experience for us as first timers here, thanks to our tour guide, Sir Alistair, who enlightened us with the city’s history and brought us into every nook and cranny of Edinburgh.
