Edinburgh Old Town Guided Walking Tour

Get an introduction to Edinburgh's Old Town with a guide who links its streets and landmarks to the city's history. The route draws on the Royal Mile, St Giles' area, closes and viewpoints around the Castle, with film and music references added along the way. It suits visitors who want context for the old city before exploring further on their own.

Which Edinburgh Old Town Guided Walking Tour ticket should I choose?

The ticket covers a professional guide and the walking tour. It does not list admission to the Castle or other paid interiors. Choose the confirmed departure that fits your plans and read the meeting-point details carefully, as the check-in location may differ from the first sight discussed on the route.
