This is a great walking tour of Edinburgh to get acquainted with the city and to learn valuable historical information.
Excellent 5* tour of Edinburgh Old Town
Published on Apr, 2025
Our guide John was excellent. We felt that the two hour tour of the Old Town was the perfect length. John is clearly very experienced and so knew the information that he wanted to impart to us and so the tour ran very smoothly. We could not recommend more highly.
Very informative tour and...
