Overview

During your private 4-Hour Tour soak up the amazing sights of both the Old and New Town of Edinburgh. You will be shown around in a comfortable and spacious vehicle by one of our experienced driver-guides.

This private tour is perfect for the visitor who has limited time and who wants to see all of the major attractions. You will have time to get out, walk around and take photos and to learn about this beautiful medieval city from your guide.

Or perhaps, you are a visitor who simply wants a shorter tour to orientate yourself to the layout of the city with hints and tips from your guide on the best places to visit, eat and shop in your own time. Here are just some of the places that you will be able to stop at on your tour:

Edinburgh Castle

Grassmarket

Greyfriars Bobby

Royal Mile

St Giles Cathedral

Mercat Cross

Palace of Holyrood House

Arthur's Seat

Calton Hill

Walter Scott Monument
