Understand the rich past of the Old Town and visit Edinburgh's winding cobbled streets.Discover the Royal Mile and historic center of Edinburgh with a local historian as you trace the development of the famous Old Town to the modern day.

The 3-hour tour begins by exploring the delightful wynds, closes, and streets veering off from the Royal Mile. On this small-group tour (6 people max) you’ll hear tales of royals, espionage, and intrigue and will be sure to have plenty of time for questions. You will contemplate both beautiful 17th century mansions and traces of the slums, which became the catalyst for construction of Edinburgh’s New Town. The explorations will also take you past the Canongate Kirk, the Canongate Tolbooth, a remaining section of the Fladen Wall, the House of John Knox, and finally the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the residence of the Queen. At the end of the tour, you’ll walk away oriented to the Old Town and with a clear understanding of the importance of the city’s development to Scotland’s history.
