Private Old Edinburgh Tour - Walk in the footsteps of Royals and Rogues! Discount Tickets

Overview

Welcome to Historic Edinburgh Tours! We will take you on a fascinating journey through the historic streets of the Old Town. You'll get to explore the very places where some of Scotland's most famous (and infamous) characters once walked and lived. From Mary, Queen of Scots to Bonnie Prince Charlie, Deacon Brodie and more, this is an unmissable opportunity to discover Edinburgh's rich history. Robert, your local guide, will come dressed in a kilt for your private tour. He will also carry a book of archive images. Robert will show you the city's iconic landmarks while sharing fascinating insights into its past. With our archive images, you'll be able to see how Edinburgh has changed over the years - and even compare it to its present-day counterpart. This is an experience not to be missed for history buffs and tourists alike!

Redemption Instructions

This tour starts just inside the main entrance to Greyfriars Kirkyard.  The grave of Greyfriars Bobby sits here, just in front of the Kirk itself.The main entrance sits just next to Greyfriars Bobby's Bar at the top of Candlemaker Row.  Please do not wait at the smaller entrance at the bottom of Candlemaker Row. Your tour guide will either be wearing a Royal Blue shirt/jacket or, possibly, a kilt.  Please say 'hi' and let him see your voucher. We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes as the ground underfoot can at times be uneven around the Old Town of Edinburgh. It can get cold in the evenings and sometimes it may have rain, bring a warm waterproof jacket and/or umbrella with you. Our tours run whether it is raining or the sun is shining. However in the event that a severe weather warning has been issued, due to safety of our guide and you, we will contact you to reschedule your booking to another date. Late arrivals: If you are running 5 minutes late, it will still be possible to join the tour as most likely the guide has not moved on to the next stop. However if you are later and miss the group at the meeting point it will not be possible to join the tour.  Thanks for booking with Historic Edinburgh Tours.
