Full description
After pick-up from your hotel, you'll see all the big tourist sites Edinburgh has to offer, and many other hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. Starting on the famous Royal Mile, your guide will lead you through the windy streets, and up the hills to sites of executions, cloned sheep and even the birthplace of Harry Potter.
You will get up close and personal with sights such as the Scott Monument, Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood House (the palace of the Queen), Calton Hill, museums and galleries. It isn’t all glamour though; you will visit the site of witch burnings and learn all about the famous body snatchers.
We’ll even find you a perfect old pub or restaurant for a drink or bite to eat at lunch time, and at the end of the day take you right back to your hotel with tired legs, but a camera full of memories.
