Royal Mile: Tours & Tickets

Kirsty showed us the sights and took an interest in us and ensured we were kept safe from the traffic. She referenced many interesting stories that made me want to find out more about the city. It is difficult to try and pack in so much history in a short time but Kirsty did a great job and was happy to answer questions about items discussed and the city in general. Please pass on my appreciation.

Alistair was great in spite of having to contend with a particularly rude french couple

The buses run frequently and you really can hop on and off. The guides, real people, are knowledgeable and very helpful ensuring we didn’t miss the long history of Edinburgh. All questions were answered and they were so engaging made you excited about history. The drivers moved at an appropriate pace so that you could take in the commentary. We will certainly be using this service on our next trip.

Margaret-Ann amd Naomi were excellent guides and really made medieval Edinburgh come to life. The stories and characterisations were fascinating and walking through the vaults was an experience that I won’t, quickly, forget. I went with my 8year old daughter who, although she was a little scared, has had great fun telling everyone about her spooky adventures so, for us, it was very OK for kids.

Well organised trip, free headphones to listen to the commentary. The top deck was partially covered but fortunately the weather was dry for us. Would recommend this trip for all ages.
