Experience the best of Edinburgh in just a few hours on this walking tour that combines a walk on the historic Royal Mile and a guided visit inside Edinburgh Castle (entry included).

The tour will begin on the Royal Mile, where your guide will lead you through cobbled streets, sharing fascinating stories of Scotland’s past and pointing out iconic landmarks like St. Giles' Cathedral, the colourful Victoria Street, and the Grassmarket with its vibrant atmosphere.

Uncover Edinburgh castle's rich history and visit the Crown Jewels of Scotland, the Great Hall, and St. Margaret’s Chapel, the oldest building in the city. Learn about the dramatic life of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the One O’Clock Gun firing. After the tour, you will have the opportunity to keep exploring the roofed buildings of the castle at your own pace.

There’s no official skip-the-line entry at Edinburgh Castle, but your ticket is included and sorted out for you, so you won’t need to queue to buy it.
