Experience Edinburgh Tours with us

With your Edinburgh tours experience the scenic Scottish City. Up until the 17th century, City’s walled defenses confined the city to just 140 acres. With threats lurking beyond the walls, the city’s growing population had only one option; build up. The result was a city choc-a-bloc with fickle housing and narrow alleyways. The walls may be long gone, but the city’s higgledy-piggeldy roots are still evident today, giving City its own unique charm. Divided in two, City’s Old Town and the Georgian-era New Town are symbolic of this city’s dual personality, a history-laden site that enjoys the trims and trappings of modern life too. It may have a dark and brooding appearance, but City’s luxury hotels, bars and award-winning restaurants ensure that this party town is as vibrant as they come. Huddled atop the Old Town, Edinburgh Castle overlooks it all, serving as a potent reminder that Scottish heritage is never too far away in this city.

Our tips for Edinburgh

Stock up on whiskey and shortbread. Trying these tantalizing treats in Scotland is a must. Shortbread is the traditional Scottish biscuit and whisky of course needs no introduction!
Try haggis. No visit to the Scottish capital is complete without tasting the national dish. Haggis may be an acquired taste - the meal’s main ingredients are sheep’s lungs, hearts and liver - but it is better than it sounds, we promise.
Explore Edinburgh’s underground city. Used in the 18th century as workshops for local businesses and later housing the poorest and most disreputable sections of scottish society, the underground vaults of the city’s South Bridge hold a host of scary secrets. One of the top Edinburgh attractions, the ghost tours offered here are well worth it.
