About this activity
This cultural tours is one of the standout things to do in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €35 per person. Discover Edinburgh's history on a guided walking tour with our experienced local guide. See the Scott Monument, explore the Royal Mile, and visit Edinburgh Castle.
Begin your walk at the towering Gothic spire dedicated to Sir Walter Scott — Scotland’s most famous author.
Head east along Princes Street, then up the short but steep path to Calton Hill. See the National Monument (Scotland’s unfinished Parthenon), the Nelson Monument, and sweeping views of the Firth of Forth. This is one of Edinburgh’s top photography spots — you can see Arthur’s Seat, the Old Town skyline, and even the Castle.
Descend back toward the Old Town and walk up the Royal Mile. Along the way, take in narrow closes (alleyways), traditional shops, and centuries of history in the buildings around you.
Admire the crown-shaped steeple and stained glass of St Giles’ Cathedral, and don’t miss the Thistle Chapel inside — home to the Order of the Thistle, Scotland’s highest chivalric order. Outside, you’ll find the heart-shaped mosaic known as the Heart of Midlothian, marking the old Tolbooth prison — locals still spit on it for good luck.
