Private Walking Tour of Edinburgh Castle with Skip-the-Line

About this activity

Private access lets you walk straight into Edinburgh’s beating heart. Feel the worn stones of the Royal Mile under your shoes as the sound of bagpipes carries through narrow closes. Your licensed guide leads you through layers of Scottish history during this two hour castle walking tour. Step beyond the gates with skip-the-line entry and see treasures once guarded by kings. Light filters through St. Margaret’s Chapel while quiet air settles over its stone walls. At the National War Museum uniforms and medals gleam under glass as echoes of courage linger. From Castle Rock the wind brushes your face and the city spreads before you like a painted canvas. Will you see the same view that inspired rulers centuries ago?
