Stop At: Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh EH1 Scotland

The walking tour will take you up and down the network of cobbled streets and back alleys that make up the historic heart of the Old Town of Edinburgh.  The tour runs for around two hours and you can expect to see sights such as St Giles Cathedral, the Mercat Cross, the George Heriot School and Edinburgh Castle (from the outside).  Every guide who works with us is strongly encouraged to develop their own tour route to help ensure that they are passionate about the stories and history that they deliver on their tour.  We believe this tour will give you a good understanding of Edinburgh and is a great basis for the other tours that we offer.

Enthusiasm and natural charm of our guide (the tour company founder) was thoroughly enjoyable. We did the Castle tour, not sure how much it differs from the old town tour but either way you’ll be entertained and with great value for money. The two hours fly along.

Ali was full of tales, captivating liveliness, knowledge and all told through his charming storyteller’s wit. We were laughing, marvelling and totally compelled. It was wonderful! Sad when it ended. He also had great recommendations of cafes, restaurants and pubs.
