New to Edinburgh? Then this is the perfect introduction to Scotland's capital. Join a relaxed walking tour through the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, exploring the city's most famous sights, uncovering hidden corners, and hearing the stories that bring these ancient streets to life. The adventure begins on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh's most famous street and the historic backbone of the Old Town. As you wander through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, discover how a small medieval town grew into one of Europe's most fascinating cities. Along the way, visit St Giles' Cathedral, explore hidden closes and winding alleyways, and hear tales of kings, queens, rebels, criminals, writers and everyday Edinburgh folk. No visit would be complete without seeing mighty Edinburgh Castle, perched on its ancient volcanic rock, with some of the best views in town. Stroll through colourful Victoria Street, often linked to the inspiration behind Diagon Alley, and explore the lively Grassmarket. Throughout the tour you'll hear about Edinburgh's literary legends, ghostly tales, famous residents and centuries-old traditions — with plenty of opportunities for photos, questions, and local recommendations. Includes our Scottish Quiz!
